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.

I would love to know his wife to let her know, her and Rodger helped save my life! In 1983 I was given 2 months to live, his Music helped save my life, when he sang about the mountains, I would see myself climbing them, when he sang about the ocean, I would see myself out in the ocean trying to row back to shore! It saved my life! People need to know Right Music saves lives,❤ WRONG music can kill quicker!

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!! 🙏❤️

the opposite of modern day "talent"

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!

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

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 KZread 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.

RIP. Amazing talent - will be sorely missed.

Great voice and super talented man

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.

A Real True Performer, beautiful voice.

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

arguably the greatest whistler ever!

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

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

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.

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.

my dad would have liked it very much to see this! (it was his time, but internet was far away...)

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

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

WOW PROBABLY!

Nice

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

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

I fully agree

Great childhood memories and a thoroughly lovely man

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

I bet that was a good night out

The whistle bit had my dogs going gaga.

OMG you're right :D

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

He had the most awesome voice in his younger days

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

This was always one of my favourite Roger-tracks. To correct the poster: this performance was with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at the Jubilee Auditorium on September 20th, 1976.
