A man with a voice of Pure Gold, many a time his songs got me through the bad times, and a lot of good times. Not many people can make your Heart Hurt even though you never knew them, or even met them, when you hear of their passing. Thank you Mr Whittaker for sharing your extraordinary vocal talent with us, and may your family know they stood next to a Legend, and legends last forever.

So sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of seeing Roger twice in Canada and it was wonderful. I was an odd fan, 20 years old and surrounded by my elders. When he sang changelip we screamed out “HeyHeyHey” and literally scared the folks in the audience. I am so sad to find out he passed but so happy with the legacy he left us.

Mr. Whittaker was (and still is!) my all-time favorite singer. I grew up listening to him in the 70s+ in Canada. I went to his concerts whenever I could when I lived in Ottawa. I still listen to his songs and love some of the messages that they conveyed. My heartfelt wishes to his family.

Dear Roger, I think of you every day. I have been a great admirer since 1969. My ring tone on the phone is "Where the Rainbow Ends" from 1977. This means that every time my phone rings, I hear you whistling carelessly and beautifully. Thank you for the music, both songs and whistling. You will never be forgotten.

Music lovers have lost an icon. His unique voice and arrangements brought many, many hours of enjoyment to millions of fans. One of my biggest regrets is never having the opportunity to see him perform live. Sincere condolences to his family.

I have loved Mr. Whittaker and his beautiful voice for years. My all time favorite is The Last Farewell and I am requesting his record of that be played at my funeral. He brought so much pleasure to so many. Sincere sympathy to his wife and family.

Currently sitting and listening to Skye Boat Song on one of Roger’s old vinyl albums which I cherish so greatly. What a wonderful singer he was. Brought so much depth with each of his recordings. Wish I could have met him.

I had the Honor and the Privilege to see and hear this remarkable man in 1984. I was working at the Sandman Hotel in Kelowna BC. Mr. Whittaker was doing sets for a few evenings and to end my day and sit down to finish it with Him was extraordinary. I was a young 19 yr old, never exposed to his type of music before and I was entranced, especially when he began to whistle, it was a whole new experience for me.
Because of Mr Whittaker, I learned to explore different genres of music.
Thank you Mr. Whittaker from a greatful lifelong fan.

Saddened to learn of this artist's passing. I have numerous songs of his on my Pandora feed.
One song in particular, "All Of My Life", reminds me of a movie I cannot identify. I've searched on-line with no luck. Was this song featured in a movie?
R.I.P., Roger Whittaker☘️☮️✝️

My heartfelt condolences to all family members. Roger Whittaker's was a unique voice and I have spent hours listening to him. What a voice and he came across as a very warm person with great character. One of his songs "Why" is playing in my head now. So so relevant for these times. Roger will never be forgotten. Thank you for your music.

While program director at WADB radio in Point Pleasant, NJ in the 1970s, I added many of his songs to our beautiful music format. We did a one-hour special with all Roger Whittaker music. I had the pleasure of meeting him in NYC during his US tour. When I bought WWFL in Clermont, FL, we promoted him as one of our performers on a radio dial card that advertised stations like ours that broadcasted in the Orlando area. What a wonderful talent!

My parents loved Roger’s music and when we traveled they would play his tapes in the car so we naturally had to listen. They took us to a concert in Philadelphia once and Roger put on a great show. He was a truly gifted singer, storyteller and performer. May he rest in Peace. God Bless
