When I was a kid fifty-plus years ago, I thought my dad was the best whistler in the whole world. But my dad always said nobody could whistle like Roger. He loved Roger’s music so much and I grew to as well. May God bless him and his family.

Roger was a wonderful person and the crowds adore him, here in USA. His talents far exceeded most of singing professionals of the 1970’s-1980’s and is to be commended for his great concerts of which I attended.

My Chinese wife recently brought home an album that she bought at a Goodwill store.....The Wind Beneath My Wings. She knew nothing of Roger Whittaker but was captivated by the look of kindness in his eyes and his honest smile. She listened to his beautiful voice singing "Too Beautiful to Cry" over and over again. I remembered him from 50 year old TV commercials touting how he "outsold the Beatles in England". A little online research gave us a glimpse into a truly blessed and wonderful life well lived! Cheers and God bless Roger Whittaker and his family.

Roger was my teacher in Nairobi PS from 1957- 1959, He was a cool teacher, but he loved music more than teaching, Roger would tell us of his trips to Addis Abba to play for Haile Selassie, the emperor of Ethiopia.
I next met him in the early / mid ‘90s here in Sacramento.
RIP Roger

I first saw Roger in concert at the Apollo theatre, Manchester in the early 1980’s when I was a boy. I think it was about 1982. It was the first concert I ever saw and he opened with “I’m back”.
My brother and I used to buy his records from the nearby shops and the market. They were golden days and I still listen to him today, he’s a major influence. My elder brother interviewed Roger in 2008 while he was writing for the BBC and now my two sons listen to his music and buy his vinyls.
May the songs and music of Roger Whittaker never be forgotten.

I'm sorry to say I had not heard of the passing of Roger Whittaker. It saddens me to hear it. His music was such a huge part of my life, at least we still have that I guess. My deep condolences to all his family.

Rest in peace, Roger.
You are the only Musician who can push the right button to make me cry.
No other has ever achieved that.
Ps. I have a question. Any chance to reach out over Email?
Thanks

I am sooooo sorry to hear of his passing. I just found out now in December of 2024!
He was, still is, and always will be one of my all time favorite artists. Both my dear late mom and i loved anything we saw or heard of his. Mom, and i, most especially liked "Last Farewell". I bought the vhs tape of his live show at the Tivoli, and we watched ot doooo often, loving everything about it every time. He was one of the most precious gifts the entertainment industry ever knew. I know my mom is up in heaven reveling in hearing his golden voice again. God be with his family, friends, and fellow fans.

"The Roger Whitaker Christmas Album" was a gift from my foster parents to my family. Even years later, the album holds a special place in my heart as I am reminded of my foster parents' kindness and love. The album is put on repeat every year around Christmastime. Thank you, Roger, for your giving your gift of music to the world.
