I did some work in this man's house, he is genuinely a nice man and so is his wife. I helped restore his staircase and I could hear him often around the house whistling like different types of birds.

RIP legend. One of the most talented musician ever.

Such a rare talent… not only was he a beautiful singer and songwriter but, also a great entertainer and whistler!… his whistling talent was undeniable and so layered!… very difficult to be sure! RIP good sir!! Thank you for your wonderful music and amazing talent all around!! 🙏❤️

A great favourite from my childhood! What a talented and lovely man!

I will never forget Rodger, with his music it gave me the strength to fight, when in 1983 the Doctors gave me 2 months to live, I am still here. I beat the odds.

One stool, one guitar and a captive audience of thousands. brilliant!

RIP Roger, this clip never fails to make me smile. Unlike some in that audience.

How can a guy sitting on a stool whistling this tune bring tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat

Love this guy, more talent then we appreciate.

My mom used to play Roger Whitaker all the time when I was a kid. She loved his music. I am sitting by her bedside in the hospital right now, and we are getting near the time to tell her goodbye. What a wonderful thing KZfaq is, as I have a playlist playing of his works for her. His songs are so perfect for right now, and Durham Town and Last Farewell are so fitting. Momma, I love you. And will see you again down the road.

This guy had more god given talent than any 10 pop artists of today.

RIP. Amazing talent - will be sorely missed.

Great voice and super talented man

A marvellous Performer I always feel the warm cloak of nostalgia when I listen to this great mans tracks.

My nearly 4 year old grandson has just learnt to whistle so I played him the Mexican Whistler - he loved it - and then had a look at this one. We played it 4 times today. He is entranced, as am I. Brilliant! Thanks for posting.

One of the unique musicians to walk the earth.

The very best whistler ever ...milky way champion of champions !.....😃

A Real True Performer, beautiful voice.

I was brought upon Rodger whittaker and still think he has the best voice in the world and is an amazing talent.

I absolutely love this guy he was so amazing and very blessed

Talented man....my father's favorite...i miss you dad.

arguably the greatest whistler ever!

I'm also a South African, I just love him, so amazingly talented.❤️🌹

Amazing voice and a brilliant entertainer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

RIP Mr Whittaker, I've been a fan since childhood(70s).

Happy reunion with a cheerful gentleman from my childhood

I saw him at Buxton Civic Centre in 1972. He was really showboating with the whistling but sadly, during one song, his lower lip burst. Despite this, he finished the song with blood pouring down his face and saturating his shirt. A 5 minute break whilst he was bandaged up then he was back on stage. True pro.

Lovely...Thank you for the music...Thank God above for giving us guys like this with so much talent...Not for them where would we be :)

The song still hit different. RIP legend

NEVER SAW ANYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE THAT! WONDERFUL, REALLY!!! iT IS AN ART THAT, UNFORTUNATELY FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO WHISTLE! I I FIND IT VERY RELAXING AND ENJOYABLE! THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE!

Amazing

The term " legend" is thrown around way too easily. Fancy having that much talent ,wisdom and humility ... Roger is a legend in the true sense of the word.

Wonderful :)

total legend

Love this clip it always puts me in a great mood.

I could whistle like this in my younger days but I got a serious throat infection in my later years and I could no longer do this😔 But I still have this GREAT MAN to listen to. Strangely NO ONE has ever covered this tune.....HMMM I WONDER WHY😂🤣😂🤣😅

Hi from CANADA.

Great childhood memories and a thoroughly lovely man

1st hear him as a kid late 70s, early 80s !!

I love Roger Whittaker's version of the famous songs by the other singers and songwriters.

if i could whistle it would be only right to whistle like Roger, he was the master at it and i love his singing too

Super

If I had a time machine, you best believe id stop by Edmonton for a show

R.I.P Roger Whittaker 😢

Una gran estrella musical, y uno de los mejores silbadores de la historia , sino el mejor.

I bet that was a good night out

I remember going to see him with my parents when I was a kid. I remember him "teaching" the whistle technique.. I couldn't do it as a kid. Fast forward 20 some years later... I still can't do it. :P

I haven't heard his singing for a long time. I was glad to find this video footage. Thanks for posting this!

Like his whistle songs, Unfortunately I can't whistle........He is one of my favorite Africans.......

Roger is totally unique and absolutely brilliant too... Yay, I've been looking for this for ages, thank youtube, you have made a silver nanny very happy indeed :0)x Definitely worth 5*****'s

Our tale is amazing and funny somewhere else in the world

Where the hell did these entertainers go? You go Roger!

I'm not sure if it was this particular clip or not, but one day, I decided that I wanted to hear one of his songs. I found a clip of him where he does "Change Lip" Turns out that I was at this CONCERT!!! 1976!! And the young lady that posted the video was at the concert too!!!! I wrote t. o her and she told me that she was sitting in the front row, wearing a red sweater. She told me that there was a DVD of the concert out! I got one!!

Whittaker has an interesting background (Kenya, Britain etc.) ...and an apparent knack for languages. His German is pretty good in other videos.

Happy Birthday ( 22:03:2020) - Dear old friend - Greetings from lceland.

We used to do that when we were young
