I am overcome with sadness to hear of the passing of one of my favourite musicians of all time, from the days when I was just a lad in Cape Town South Africa, your songs entered my life and have never left. Every audio device of mine has many of your songs, which are part of the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for your gifts of music, the joy, sadness and many emotions that your songs conjure up for me, While lately I dont' Believe in If Anymore, tomorrow will be a New World in the Morning, although much sadder morning with out you in it. Rest in peace dear soul and thank you for the music.

We needed Roger when we felt down or happy and sad.
His music and lyrics are here to stay.
Thank you for the memories. May you Rest.

I am very sad that you left us. I went to 3 concerts, 1st one Duesseldorf in 1976, in Essen 1976 and 1977. I will never forget you, dear Roger. My thoughts are with your beloved ones. I will take out my LPS and will listen to all your beautiful songs. RIP

I always liked Roger, his music and as a person. Many years ago he was kind enough to send me an autographed photograph of himself. I have always appreciated his kind gesture and I still treasure it now. He will be sadly missed but he will always be remembered and his music will pass into legend.

I am sadden to hear of his passing. Growing up in Cape Breton , he was one of my Mom's favorite singers. Music was an important part of our upbringing. His voice was rich and true, an excellent storyteller and whistler. Whenni hear his music today, it brings me right back to those wonderful times. Thank you Mr Whittaker.. your music will live on ! May you have eternal rest 🙏❤️

I was first "introduced" to Roger & his music when my father changed his car back in the 80s. In the "new" car there was a cassette of Roger's music which I loved listening to. Have loved listening to his music ever since. RIP

Kwa niaba ya WaKenya wenzangu ninatuma rambirambi zangu kwa jamii na marafiki wa Roger. Yeye ni shujaa ambaye aliimba kwa heshima na ustarabu na kupeperusha bendera ya Kenya na Afrika kwa jumla, na kutuunganisha pia na Ulaya kwa kutumia muziki. Mungu aiweke Roho yake Rogers mahali pema peponi.

Een bijzondere charismatische man is niet meer, een man welke mij op jonge leeftijd wist te pakken met zijn heldere unieke stemgeluid (en fluit), zijn humoristische shows waarin hij Afrika en Europa deed samenkomen. Veel sterkte voor de nabestaande gewenst van een een 54 jarige fan uit Nederland

Mr. Whittaker has been such a large part of my life. As a child and young adult I have the pleasure of seeing him entertain a few times and he always left the crowd cheering. As a teen, his music became an integral part of my life as my " love " left to join the navy and swells of "Farewell to Nova Scotia" filled my home for hours.
Years later my sons were introduced to his music through his Christmas music.
Sharing his love of Kenya meant even more when I finally traveled there. I am devastated by the loss of this gentle gentleman, voice of angels and talent above all. My sincere condolences to his family.

Thank you for being a literal voice for love and kindness. You were the icon of my childhood - my mother's favorite musician, and the soundtrack to so much of my life. You brought so much joy around the world. I wish your family love and peace, and I wish you safe voyage, Master Troubador.

Retired in France I drove at one time frequently to Germany, and then being a non German speaker, though fluent in four other languages, I immersed myself in German , some lessons included from a teaching colleague, to become able to converse with German friends. My car CD system had a stack of several of Roger s albums, having discovered he sang in German by chance, hearing Wir sind Jung on WDR4. Along with songs on CD by other artists such as Andrea Berg, I became , fluent, but twenty years back I can claim claim to have learnt German in part from Roger on the autoroutes and autobahnen, thanks to Roger who learnt his lyrics phonetically but increased his spoken German as time went on.I have just about every German CD bought in places like Dusseldorf and Munchen made by Roger and a collection of Deutsch Schlagermusik. His voice, clarity, pace and sheer musical power to please and entertain is frankly incomparable. He was in later years more known in Germany. Not alone in that transition including Petula Clark, Vicky Leandros, Mireille Matthieu, and even Julio Iglesias to a lesser extent.When I see some, not all, of what what passes in the UK I reach for my Roger Whittaker collection nr You Tube. Vielen Dank fur alles Lieber Freund ihre Fans vergessen nicht.
