[@DD-ev2dt]

Just heard legendary Roger Whittaker has passed ... deeply saddened part of my early childhood always on the radio .... What a talent he was .... May he RIP 😞 🙏 ➕️.

[@keengro3740]

i hadnt heard he died, i was playing his music right through lock down and knew he had retired, that's saddened me, we are losing so many talented musicians that will never be replaced

[@stevemanleycbg.5232]

One of the finest singers who ever lived .he sounds exactly same as the recording when live . There are'nt to many singers that can do that.

[@lindapendleton9176]

RIP ROGER WHITTAKER.First heard his wonderful voice back in the 1980 's and have been a fan ever since. Was sad to hear of his death but we have his recordings to remember and enjoy.

[@eveberry1798]

...And he's in Heaven, singing.

[@susanbannister1640]

Every song that he sang you can feel through your body. Beautiful voice & his whistling, wow. Fly high Roger x🎉

[@jeh500]

This man has moved me since I was a kid. He is special & I love his heartfelt interpretations. So many fine recordings.

[@stevebrazilio]

I love the upbeat tempo and the way Roger then slows it down to the chorus.

[@piobmhor8529]

This song was big when I was a young Canadian Infantry Soldier. I thought of it often when working with my counterparts in the Bundeswehr while stationed in West Germany. One generation before us, our fathers fought WW2 against one another, and here we were as Cold War allies. They were truly some of the finest Soldiers I had ever worked with. The line of “Friend now meeting Foe” is true.

[@niclasjohansson3390]

I grew up in a household where Roger's songs were always on my parents record player. Despite having a preference for rock I have always had a soft spot for his beautifully crafted songs. The lyrics seem so relevant today.

[@franke1794]

My mom used to play Roger Whitaker all the time when I was a kid. She loved his music. I am sitting by her bedside in the hospital right now, and we are getting near the time to tell her goodbye. What a wonderful thing KZbin is, as I have a playlist playing of his works for her. His songs are so perfect for right now, and Durham Town and Last Farewell are so fitting. Momma, I love you. And will see you again down the road.

OMG thats got me in tears mate 😢 Listening to the start of this Wonderful song and reading your sad but Wonderful comment 😢

[@ulrikestrasser8122]

Mir geht es genauso. Meine Mama hat immer Roger Whitacker gespielt, als ich Kind war und ich und Sie liebten seine Stimme und all seine Lieder. Einmal war er in Salzburg und ich war auf seinem wunderschönen Konzert,leider wR meine Mama krank. Jetzt, wo Sie im Sterben lag, habeich Mama immer seine Lieder vorgespielt und mitgesungen. Mama war ganz entspannt. Und bei der Verabschiedung lief auch Roger Whitacker und ich habe wieder für meine Mama mitgesungen. So bleibt mir die schöne Zeit und die unbeschwerte Kindheitheit mit meiner Mutter zusammen immer in Erinnerung.....Ich danke Ihm für seine schönen Lieder

[@glenhouston3067]

Goosebumps ! I can remember in my early teens sitting in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace listening to my Dad's 8 track of Roger Whitaker...one of the most peaceful times in my life...fabulous !

[@mbvideoselection]

I discovered this song when I bought the 8-Track of this album about 11 years ago and I immediately got what it was saying. And it speaks to me even more now.

[@deborahkennedy1398]

Same here! I’ve grown to love Roger Whittaker’s music by listening to my mom’s 8 track tapes way back in the ‘80’s! I was 20 back then. Now 60 & still love all his music! My Mom has died but I think of her when listening to his music 😢♥️♥️😊

[@rfish54]

I listened to this song over 40 years ago just as I began my work in a sawmill. Those were the warm summer days of my youth when I lay in the sun and heard Roger's song on my cassette player. His warm voice still brings back those years to me and reminds me of the innocence that is kind. It is my hope listeners to Roger's songs will experience the joy of music for music sake, and the hope it will bring kindness to this world. Thank you.

[@aecrp]

It will, and it shall be that way!

[@loosewheels1000]

We can but hope, but in this day and age it could be a pipe dream, how many battles since the war to end all wars ?? However I truly hope you are right.

Wow...I had the exact same experience in a sawmill 40 years ago in the summer.

His voice had such a heartwarming quality. And though sadly he left for good😢 - His music will live on. R.I.P. and thanks for sharing that beautiful gift of yours with the world who loves to listen ...

Roger Whittaker's warmth, honesty and kindness shine through in his music and in the hearts of his listeners. Long may you both endure!

[@user-wx7zl8fn7f]

I was SO fortunate to see him live back in the 80's ... a worldwide treasure!

[@leuk9027]

Beautiful voice and I still remember every word of the lyrics..

[@chrisorescan8941]

The very first concert my father took me to in Edmonton, I will never forget it. I lost my Dad a couple years ago, I added this song to his video memorial during his service, a very touching memory for me! I still listen to his music today at 61 and love it as much today as back when I first heard and saw Roger in Concert! Thanks to my father for introducing me to Roger's music and thank you Roger for your lyrics and smooth voice.

[@stripemister]

Roger Whittaker sings the greatest sounding music to one's ear. Thank the Lord that we still have him, for he turns not so good days into good days.

[@jcBurton2094]

His music will live forever

[@MichaelHundige]

I grew up with Roger Whittaker's music as my mom listened to it before I was even born. His music is always very soothing for me and brings me memories of my childhood days. What a great artist Roger Whittaker is- great voice, great songs and fantastic whistle unmatched by anyone. And a fantastic performer on stage, too. I will never stop liking Roger Whittaker.

[@carolenichols6946]

I could listen to this voice forever.

[@pattijoyce1170]

What a voice. And probably the best whistler that's ever lived.

[@markfisher61]

Great voice. But let's be honest, the songs are rubbish.

[@reubendunn46]

I met "Mr Whittaker" several times in the late 60s when the firm I worked for part time looked after his car while he went to Hamburg. He liked Volvo 1800s as used by The Saint. Roger is a great guy, a really nice man (and he tipped generously). He must be quite an elderly gentleman now and Gentleman is the best description I can give to him.

At 49 seconds in, members of the audience - moved by Roger's impeccable delivery - break out in spontaneous applause, then respectfully quiet down to let him (Roger) do his thing.... fantastic clip! Bless you one and all.

Well it's also because he's actually singing it live, not just lip syncing. He deliberately sings it a little differently so that people know, hey, this is really live. 🙂

[@warrenpreissl]

IMO this is the most moving song he wrote and he's enjoying playing it to an appreciative audience (see 0:52s!). For me it's about compassion for the human condition and illusions we mistake for reality.. then finding our true selves.. Playing it live would be a transcending experience and I believe his bliss is transparent. No act here, or as Antero Alli writes, it's the 'total act' of 'giving yourself over totally to whatever you are doing.' This clip always takes me to a higher place! :-)

Finished off with "You to Me are Everything." And then I heard this song as I was pulling into my driveway. Was too good not to hear only halfway through. So straight onto KZbin and listening to this a few times. Rounded off the night nicely hearing a great song like this. Thanks lilchiva for uploading this.
