This Amazing Man Made My Dying Father’s Dream Come True ! After Writing Telling Him My Father Was A Massive Fan, He Wrote To My Dad, Gave Him Videos, Signed Pics & The Letter Was Amazingly Thoughtful. My Dad Was 46 & I Was 17. He Told My Dad To Watch The Des O’Conner Show & Changed His New Song For My Dad’s Favourite, The Last Farewell. My Dad Was Over The Moon. That Was 1988 & I Understand Why My Dad Loved Him So Much. R.I.P The Both Of You’s !!!

😢 Wow same as my Dad on his deathbed 1993 pancreatic cancer...The Last Farewell was MY Dad's favorite all time song too! He had a window room in the hospital and there WAS a ship rigged and waiting in the harbour at dawn's early light and my Dad slipped away peacefully. Peace 2 U from just another human who knows the unparalleled heartbreak of losing a parent!😢

​@@alesakline1168Mine did as well. I listened to country music and still do. However, even in my youths if I heard other music I liked I would listen to it and not be embarrassed when my friends found out. I'm glad my foster parents were fans of his because I also became one in the 70s. Still today at 65 country music changed but I don't call today's country, country at all. Music like Roger's Whittaker never changed from when I was young. So that's still my go to music.

Ditto here as well. Mom LOVED Roger Whittaker. Dad owned a record store back in the day, so we had all of his records. It’s been too many years since I’ve listened to him. His voice is so relaxing and soothing. God speed, Roger!

Als ik dit liedje hoor denk ik meteen aan mijn vader. Ben hem al 45 geleden verloren in 1979.hij hield zo van dit nr.

Loved your music. It had a big influence on my life. Sleep well, Roger 😢

Farewell, Roger Whittaker. Bleibst unvergesslich. Danke.

RIP… what an amazing singer…. Thank you for the gift of your music….🙏🙏🙏

R.I.P. Roger Whittaker - your music will never died ❤

Such good memories. Close my eyes and i see my grandparents dancing to this at their 50 year anniversary. Last time they ever danced. R.I.P.

R. I. P. Roger another beautifull voice gone to join God's choir. Died 13/09/23, buried 16 / 09 & we didn't know till the 19th. It should have been headline news on the day. Such a great talent world wide.

Wonderful voice and great performer. From an era never to be seen agian. RIP Roger and thanks for your voice.

RIP dear Sir, you gave us some lovely music. ❤

Unbelieveably beautiful. Thank you Roger! I go on singing your songs!

A piece of my 1970s childhood has left the house. Thanks for all the great songs. Farewell Mr Whittaker.

Sad to know this gentleman troubadour has died. I remember him as a kid and, though I wasn’t a fan, I knew his songs made an impact with many as evidenced by the number of albums his music sold. R.I.P.

I simply adore his unusual songs, vocal talent and interpretation . Timeless british music

Rest in piece Mr. Whittaker! I wish I would have seen him! Greatest singer ever! He lived a great live! 87, wow!

Rest in Peace, you are the Best. I am from Germany and I think, Roger was the Best singer of all times in the World. The last Legend.

What an amazing voice Roger had, it cannot be disputed, & a man of his times, a time we’ve forgotten.

Keep coming back to this one. It has a wisdom in it just as true today as the first time I heard Roger sing it on the radio in the 70's.

Such a beautiful song so soothing and a great singer 😄

What a legend.

Thank`s for my childrens voy `s again !!

RIP to one of the all time greatest voices.

This was my favorite song, he had an amazing voice. Love him! I will see him in Heaven....

I fell in love with his voice and songs during high school. The first record I bought with my own money after I started working was one of his. (Yes, I am that old) The second record was a compilation of him, Nana Mouskouri, and Demis Roussos.

R.I.P. Mr. Whittaker, I’ve always enjoyed hearing you sing and the passion in your music.

Great singer, and good bye Roger.

My late dad and Roger where at the same university of Capetown. According to my dad he would take his guitar and start to sing after the dance was over!!

loved Roger Whittakers music from the first i heard him when i was teenager....still makes my heart swell......RIP

Superb dramatic storytelling and beautiful melody ....i loved it when it was first released and it stands the test of time

Absolutely fantastic

Blessings and thank you for all your music .
