There are a few people who impact us without meeting. For Roger Whittaker was such a Kenyan. A warm, wild, and free Soul who loved his home and owned the memories of a great people of Kenya.
My favourite Album he gave us was the Music Safari with great tunes. My Land is Kenya hitting a really warm cord in our hearts.
He also loved the Railways as a passenger and many other scenic moments he gave vivid description.
We cry with you at Shimoni and when we think of the earth environment crisis. We also mourn his demise and say farewell as he says good bye to the Indian Lady. We whistle
But we know you have gone to that Higher place you described where someone else now picks those phones. Durham town may also be behind you we Whistle in great disbelief
Rest well Mheshimiwa kikiyan i Kararan chichi iman. Rest well Elder you have a Golden heart and you are a real Burning Spear.
May your memory be a blessing to all.

Roger was and indeed still is a legend. There's a great bouncy, little ditty which sadly wasn't publicly released on vinyl but is on YouTube. It's called Oh Life and always cheers me up. Take a moment to listen.
Rest In Eternal Peace Roger

So sad to read the news in a Norwegian newspaper just now. I grew up listening to his records as my mother also was a fan. I still get a wave of wonderful childhood memories rushing over me whenever I listen to one of his songs. His voice so dark, but warm and inviting. His songs and recordings will live on.

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.
