How very sad. I grew up listening to his records booming out of the radiogram. My Dad and I often fell into fits of laughter, trying to copy his famous whistle. My Mum singing along and playing his songs on her guitar, Dad on the zither.... I know people don't live forever and his music lives on but the memories, oh the memories that came flooding back when I heard this news.... Sincere condolences to Roger's family. Rest in peace Sir x

What a voice that would flow out of the loudspeakers, particularly during Advent every December. Daddy bought the Christmas album 1979, and every subsequent year the album would be on non-stop rotation throughout weekends leading up to the festivities. In fact, we didn't feel the proper pre-Christmas excitement before that particular LP was produced and played in our living room. But Roger became a musical staple in my family long before 1979, and I know all his towering evergreens. And: I will never forget my amazement at how a human being could whistle a tune with such virtuosity. You were a presence in our lives we will always treasure.

Ich bin mit Roger Whittakers Musik groß geworden. Ich habe seine Musik geliebt und liebe sie bis heute. Seine warme Stimme war einzigartig und wird fehlen. Einmal durfte ich ihn live im Konzert in Hamburg erleben, dieses Konzert begleitet mich seit Jahrzehnten auf einem Doppel-Live-Album, ein weiteres auf DVD. Dazu viele seiner Alben auf CD. Seine Musik wird uns, gut konserviert auf diversen Ton- und Datenträgern, erhalten bleiben. Ein kleiner Trost für alle Fans.
R.I.P., dear Mr. Whittaker. All the best for his family.

The Last Farewell - a wonderful song which was an absolute favourite of mine as a child. As I sang along to ABBA and The Stranglers, I also adored this tune. Timeless.
Thoughts are with his family and friends.

I grew up listening to Mr. Whittaker’s music and had the great pleasure of seeing him perform live once in Concord, NH. I had the opportunity to meet him but unfortunately missed it and forever regret that. I’ve always enjoyed the music and found my favorite singing songs in the shower and in kareoke mostly from his collection of songs. His passing is truly the end of an era and her will be missed greatly.
Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for the wonderful music and memories it invokes in me.
Forever grateful,
Bob Gilmore

One of a kind. Master whistler. I loved it when he said everyone is carrying an instrument they can learn to play anywhere. For years I tried to play Elizabethian Serenade, but could not master the high notes he reached. His music will live on!!
