            Blimey. I thought he died in the 70's or 80's !
When my grandparents died a several years ago half their record collection was of Roger Whittaker.

            Such a distinctive, smooth voice. "Durham Town" and "New World In The Morning" are just two of my favourites of his

            Very sad - he was one of the first singers I loved as a kid.

            He was very good at whistling if I remember correctly. But I may be thinking of someone else.2

Whistling was very much part of his repertoire. It was a skill he learned growing up in his homeland of Kenya.Frankie_de_Toro said:He was very good at whistling if I remember correctly. But I may be thinking of someone else.1 - 
            Really loved his voice.
Rip to a great performer.
The only criticism is that it is the Wear and not the Tyne that flows through Durham Town although I guess that wouldn't rhyme.1 -

To add to my earlier post, there are few who match him in that respect.Afternoon Delight said:Great voice, as others have said you could listen to his voice all day.

            One of the sounds of my youth - I was at Uni in Durham (city, not town!) in 1969. so Durham Town has a particular resonance for me, along with Streets of London.
He leaves a great legacy.1 -
