Didnt know that!! when I was growing up in high school everyone was listening to AC/DC or led zep and there I was with my Roger Whittaker and Neil Diamond albums! RIP!!
Sought this out after hearing that Roger had sadly passed away today. I remember my grandmother playing his music when I was a child, such a wonderful voice, all about talent and he made it look effortless.
This is what you call TALENT folks! No fancy synthesizers or sampling going on here. This is just a beautiful song being sung by a great artist with a gorgeous voice.
I have loved your song, "The last farwell" and you for a very long time.. I am (80) yrs. old ....love listening to this song in the evening...it helps me relax and enjoy the evening...RIP Sweet Roger...Sunset, South Carolina
As a small child in early 70s Roger & Gilbert O' Sullivan were some of my first music memories .... Am deeply saddened by the death of Roger Whittaker what a great singer and writer his kind won't be seen again RESPECT ..... May he RIP 😞🙏➕️........
Rest in peace sir. I just heard you on the radio and came to search you on RUclips only to realise you passed away revently. My heart felt it. Im saddened by this. Sleep well Mr Whittaker
I had the opportunity to meet Roger in the early 1980s when he came to Maine to open the new concert hall in Bangor ... we had a great chat about his home country of Nigeria. I also have good memories of how that country took us in when we were evacuating from Ethiopia when Hallie Sallasie was dethroned ... God bless those warm people of Kenya. Later, in the late 90's, I saw Roger again in Asheville, North Carolina and we renewed our old relationship. Let's all remember we had some time with Roger ... and sing along with the Old East African Railroad and Harbor. Ken Jones ... oh, I am 91 years old andwouldd love to hear from you
❤My first memory of any song was of this song. Me and my Sister aged 3 and 4 years old grew up in an orphanage in London in the early 1970s and the ladies who worked there used to sing it to the kids when it was on the radio. R.I.P. Thank You
This song was one of the great 'sleeper' hits of pop music. Recorded as an album track in 1971 it was 'discovered' by an American lady in 1975 and went on to become only one of thirty singles to sell over twelve million copies. Roger Whittaker will 'God willing' celebrate his 86th birthday next month (March 2022) A great talent who has had hits in almost every country in the world at one time or another. Many thanks for posting.
Strange, I have listened to this 100’s of times but never until tonight heard the beautiful lyrics. You sing so beautifully Roger and it has cast my mind back to the many wonderful sea-fairing men and women that I have known who have sadly passed over the bar. Brought a tear to my eye. RIP and thank you for the memories
As I was driving home tonight, I heard this song on AM radio. Reminded me of the old days. I'm a classic rock and pop listener. But I know when a great song moves me. Thanks for this.
So so good. One of the best. From a time you earned your star with hard work over many years, natural talent , ability to entertain. A master of his craft. A Gold Star.
What a classic performance. Compared this to his 1988 Jerry Lewis Marathon performance and this one is by far better. RIP Roger - you were a good man and a great singer who gave so many the pleasure of your voice
Had to listen to Roger Whittaker sing his songs having heard the sad news of his death today at the age of 87 years old.
Didnt know that!! when I was growing up in high school everyone was listening to AC/DC or led zep and there I was with my Roger Whittaker and Neil Diamond albums! RIP!!
RIP Roger. I wish I were again in a world where songs like this were big hits.
One of the loveliest songs of all time.
Now it‘s the last farewell to you. You made the world a bit better with your songs. RIP.
A fitting tribute to Roger Whitaker, may he rest in peace.
One of the last 1970's entertainers. Rest easy, Roger.
What a voice! The song is strangely haunting and I never tire of hearing it. RIP, Roger. Thank you for your music.
❤ RIP

“Let’s see if we can remember this?” Like he would ever forget his signature song. Richest voice anywhere.
My mother loved Roger and as she was passing away this song was playing and a smile came across her face. Thank You Roger!
The country arrangement is actually quite touching in a way I didn't expect.
Roger may be the most underated singer of our time. He is such a talented fella and this song really showcases his voice.
An absolute brilliant song....
It is too bad that this lovely Voice left us already !!
Rest in peace sir. I just heard you on the radio and came to search you on RUclips only to realise you passed away revently. My heart felt it. Im saddened by this. Sleep well Mr Whittaker
One of the greatest singers of all time performing one of his greatest works!
Absolutely incredible voice this man has. To sing almost perfectly live is a special talent.
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale. Those lyrics move me every time.
This song touches my soul to the very core.I wish there were more songs like these. Thankyou Roger God blessed you with that beautiful voice.
👏 👏 👏

A Great Song sung by a Great Artist. RIP Roger Whitaker.
What a fabulous rendition of this incredible song from a man who was just Superb!!!!!

R.I.P. In the day when groups like Aerosmith and Zepplin were screaming on the airwaves, this song was also there and I listened to it equally!
God bless Him for this song which is very touching. He is blessed with a beautiful voice. This talent is no longer found these days.
Roger Whittaker - A class act with an amazingly smooth voice, brilliant 😃👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
a true treasure. RIP Roger Whittaker. you will be missed
Thanks for the songs, dear Mr. Whittaker😢....
RIP Roger and thank you so very much for your music, which always takes me back to a time when I had my parents, and life seemed so much more joyful.
I live here in Kenya for the last 45yrs and his song 'My Land is Kenya' is almost an anthem to this diverse and beautiful country.
I totally agree, tho I understand why he won't come back here to Kenya, the land of his birth
saw Roger live in Dublin back in the 70's. sensational.
He lived in Ireland for quite a number of years, before moving to France.
Strange, I have listened to this 100’s of times but never until tonight heard the beautiful lyrics. You sing so beautifully Roger and it has cast my mind back to the many wonderful sea-fairing men and women that I have known who have sadly passed over the bar. Brought a tear to my eye. RIP and thank you for the memories
Heard this on Sirius a week ago, and realized I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this song and his rich voice.
Gorgeous voice and song. The music harmonious❤. Thank you Rodger ❤
Sad to learn that Roger passed away last week aged 83 in France
Don't you miss quality singers and songs Iike this?
My grandmother absolutely loved Rodgers music 🙏🙏🙏
