I am very so sad to hear of Roger Whittaker's passing. He was such a unique talent. I remember him on television in the '70's, his catchy songs and avuncular persona. Seeking out these songs online a few years ago, I discovered his German 'schlager' music. I found myself listening to these songs over and over, even though I have no understanding of the lyrics. There is a joyous, happy quality about this music that is soothing in such an uncertain world. As a musician myself, I really appreciate his versatility and artistry. My condolences to his family and friends.

Songs that will live deep in the heart of those who loved Roger. My only regret is that I never saw him in concert. I promised my daughter that we would. She was about 5 at the time. She loved him too. I hope there’s a ship lying rigged and ready in the harbour to sail this legend home

I was introduced to Roger's music by my parents in the 70s (I was born in '71), particularly on holiday car journeys, and maintained a deep affection for his songs all my life. When Karaoke was popular "The Last Farewell" was one of my go-to songs. I will continue to introduce his beautiful music to those around me. We have been blessed. Best wishes to his family.

I’m so sad right now. I met Roger about 5 times from the late 70’s and on. Every time we moved to another city, he’d give a concert there and this became our little joke. I was pregnant twice and he remembered everything about me which I was very impressed with. I loved him when I was a teenager in the 70’s in Vancouver which was a strange genre for a teenager when disco had taken over. I was real upset when he shaved off his beard the first time and I told him so. I still listen to my own playlists daily and Roger is a big part of that. My love goes out to his family and all the millions of fans who took his music and made it their own. He had a long and happy life with accomplishments unlike others. I shall miss you, Roger! But will see you again when you play my welcome home concert. I first adored you as a 17 year old and now @64 I feel exactly the same way as then. RIP my friend, I’m gonna miss you 😢 Monique Bean …….so glad I have dozens of photos of us at various ages, they’re special memories.

His Christmas album has been a center of our holiday listening and will take on a different note this holiday season. Peace and prayers to Roger's family and fans around the world.
