Roger Whittaker - Exclusive Interview with Terry Marshall

[@lonelimonemusicmatters713]

R.I.P. Roger. What a great singer and personality. Thanx

[@derekcolwill5937]

Rest well my friend, Your music brought so much happiness around the world. Condolences to all the Family. R I P.

[@tomwege5942]

Great man, great singer, great song writer, and the world's greatest whistler !

[@FredPickett]

Love this/R.I.P. Roger.

[@Johnnycdrums]

When did he die?

[@johnmewes278]

We have had many gifts from God with exceptional singing voices.Roger was one of them.

[@roberttownsend9223]

This interview is just over 20 years old. Roger Whittaker is 84 years old now ( August 2020) and living in retirement in France with his wife Natalie. He performed his last series of sell out concerts in Germany, where he was a genuine superstar, in 2013. Roger had one of the greatest, most distinct and warm voices in popular music and it's likely his songs will be still be played when most of the other singers of his era will be long forgotten. And as this interview shows, he is a gentleman of the highest order. Long may he enjoy his retirement!

Never heard on any UK radio station it seems which is a shame. The interviewer while pleasant and curtious unfortunately talks far too fast. Roger whittaker in comparison is so calm and laid back in this replies he's practically horizontal ! Looking good for 77 here

[@ColetteNasielski-zr9rb]

Really Love that Whistileing Roger May you Rest in peace

[@Johnnycdrums]

Amen.

[@peterjohnknox]

His voice is so powerful even when talking I could listen to him all day. He should do some narrating for movies!

[@logicalnetwork1611]

Agreed.

[@eugenebarry5376]

So interesting, intelligent, talented and honest. I'd love to meet him and am sure he would be warm, humorous and captivating. That rich voice would make a shopping list sound so good. A charming, talented man that has given a life work of brilliant song and music to us to enjoy. Any language, every song absolute brilliance.

[@nicholasrupertswainson1168]

He's a wise man - he reminds me of my late father who worked for 18 years in Uganda ( EA )

[@jeanchristinakis7165]

Uganda, Kenya- the best years of my life!!!

[@jeanchristinakis7165]

Brings back a lot of memories just listening to him sing!

[@kaywalton2460]

[@wendycreighton5983]

roger is one of the best singer ever i have always been a fan too roger.eileen

[@kickinpickles4632]

Roger was the "Eddie Van Halen" of the whistle. Amazing!

[@davidwilson5998]

Well said!

[@terryhodges9416]

What a wonderful man I’m sure the 1st song on the radio when I was 3 or 4 that I remembered was this gentle guy this year I turn 53 every now and then I have to you tube him and it takes me back thank you Rodger

[@volt7cooltangs701]

There’s some great jumpers and grey beards going on here. Roger Whittaker’s Durham Town is probably a better song than 98% of the Beatles output. Absolutely fantastic song. An amazing talent. Superb singer & whistler. Great voice. Thankyou Roger 👍🏻

[@Johnnycdrums]

"New World In The Morning" moved me very deeply.

[@teresasteele5327]

What a beautiful speaking voice Roger Whittaker has, and his talent is so underrated. My mum loved his songs, especially the whistling, she was good at whistling, not as good as Roger though.

[@jameschavez6400]

The part-2 should be called farther and more to learn 🥰🥰❤️👈

[@geoffjoffy]

He looks so well.

[@bensonkaile9606]

Africa is Gracious and Glamorous

[@kenbina]

I know Elton John did a great job with the Lion King soundtrack, but I wish this guy would have composed it. He would have sounded fantastic singing "Be Prepared" by Scar.

[@timmccaffrey1326]

Roger Whittaker is now in poor health and lives in France......he said recently he has played his tast concert....a great star

[@klattalexis]

Has he died?

[@ErlendBuflod]

@@klattalexis he is still alive according to the internet.

[@sugirajoseph7449]

After watching the last Indian to leave Uganda, I found myself another great singer

[@alanbstard4]

she's from the Philippines and I want to go to Jakarta to do a concert one day " Jakarta is in Indonesia

[@Alexidrum]

Which year is this?

[@5308fran]

i am surprised if roger is in poor health, he is not home in kenya which he loves so much. why france?

[@samuelpepys2108]

why does it bother you where the man ends his days? Let him be.

[@timmccaffrey1326]

Back in the mid-1980s Roger's parents who lived in Kenya were attacked and his father was murdered while his mother was seriously injured.....she came to England to live with Roger and his family but never once spoke of the matter. So I'd say Kenya a country which he still loves was out of the picture as a retirement location. He explained he moved from Ireland, where he lived for several years because the constant rain and damp was not doing his wives severe arthritis any good.

@@timmccaffrey1326 okay sorry
