My Mum and Dad always gave a sound of delight whenever Robert made an appearence on British TV. Beautiful voice singing songs that come from the heart. Thank God for these people or our wonderful heritage of songs would fade away. Thanks for sharing.
The absolute gold standard of ballad singing. I love the way the BBC cameras captured the stillness and affection of the "Good Old Days" audience, who always appreciated Robert White's appearance with such enthusiasm and reverence. White delivered each song like a perfectly crafted work of art. Enthused with emotion but never showy or stereotypical - just beautifully rendered and exquisitely judged. Presented with class and the elegant bearing that was his trademark.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I can add nothing more to what you say, you have said it all, Simply Wonderful !.
I cant stop watching this , incredible.
I know what you mean, it's really lovely, and he sings it so well. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it so much.
Oh...what a voice. I just love him.
A beautiful song, along with others from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries , charmed my ancestors. They may have schooled them in a different view of life than that in vogue today. Robert sings them with the utmost sincerity. Thank you Graham.
You're most welcome, I'm only too pleased that you like and appreciate what has to be one of the most wonderful voices. It's sad these times seem to be fading, but thanks to this site, we are able to enjoy so much. Thank you for your wonderful comments.
Doug Foote... I bought the great CD of Edwardian songs by Robert White for my mother in law who was born in1908, lived in London and could remember the First World War very clearly. Hopefull, vibrant young soldiers went off, and returned as sober, chastened, wiser men. One song from that era will always be very special for me. I refer to Roses are shining in Picardy, which I used at the funeral of my very dear wife. Elaine heard me sing this for her in public at recitals in the Bristol area, and I am so glad to have been able to please her in this way . This song meant so much to many people in that era of the most appalling losses. Perhaps the best use of music is to uplift, enrich, and also nurture the the human spirit. Such songs continue their work today.
Doug, Robert White sang the wonderful "Roses Of Picardy" - a beautiful yet haunting song on The "Wogan Show" - its a thing of beauty - link attached. ruclips.net/video/MlftTzHDLm8/видео.html
I just love this rendition! I never tire of listening to it. His sweet sensitive performance far outstrips McCormack's and the orchestra follows beautifully too. In all, the best version on RUclips bar none! Thanks for sharing.
You are very, very welcome, and I couldn't agree more, this rendition is absolutely wonderful, such feeling and sentiment, hard to beat. I also have uploaded Stuart Burrows version, ( my favourite Tenor) I consider his version beautiful also. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it makes uploading these all the more worth it. Thank you.
As good as he is and he is excellent,no one will better John mc cormack singing this song,I think even mr.white would agree with me
A wonderful presentation Magnificent vocals
Dear God I've been looking for this for years. What a voice. Thank you for posting it.
I'm always so pleased when someone, like you, enjoys a video that I love and takes the time to post a Thankyou. I have always loved this song, Another video that you will also find I've uploaded, is by my all time favourite Tenor, Stuart Burrows, who sings it with much love and sentiment, why not give it a listen, it too is beautifully sung, just as Robert White does here. Again, many thanks for your lovely comments. Graham.
Fantastic
Thank you, I'm so pleased you enjoyed this. He has a wonderful voice.
A true professional.
Terrific!
Isn't it just.... Glad that you enjoyed this, he certainly has a wonderful voice.
I always thought of this song as being rather morbid. This superb rendition makes it a song of life and love. The single title line takes on a life of its own and with quite different tones. A fine songwriting idea, that was. I will view this many times. A beautifully intoned rendition full of vivid vocal colours.
Hello Dave, Yes, I know what you mean, it's rather a sad, melancholy song, about the longing of one whom you've loved dearly, but has now passed, but as you rightfully state, Robert White does a wonderful job for us, full of feeling and sentiment. Thanks for viewing, and your welcome comments. Graham.
A lovely singer very stylish
I heard him in Boston (MA) several years ago. It was billed, I recall, as the repertory of John McCormack. He began with Handel's "Where'er You Walk", sung in a credible Irish brogue.
It wasn't until many years later that I learned he had played the old man in the wheelchair in Menotti's opera "The Labyrinth". He was probably the youngest member of the cast at the time. What a performer!

Love this song
As the song finished I almost heard the voice of my dead friend of forty years calling me.
That's very sad but understandable, it's such a moving song. I hope you enjoyed listening to this.
Other than John McCormack, nobody sings this song as well as Robert White.
I saw one of him years ago singing the leafy stars of duna i think it was called. It was amazing but I cant find it anywhere.
I've had a look around the web, and I think it's called 'The little hills of duna', or at least that's the nearest title that comes up, but alas, I can't find a recording of it at all I'm afraid. Hopefully you'll come across it some day.
@@GrahamJBower Thank you Graham. Its a shame because he sang it so beautifully. The notes at the end were superb. I can remember watching it on the good old days years ago as a young boy with my Dad. Thanks again Graham. If I find it ill let you know .👍
If you find it Graham you might leave me know please
This proves Robert White an equal with John McCormack
Kris chamblee
