Our radio played a lot of Roger's songs last night. I come here and found this one, totally unexpected & shocked. But it shows the talent this remarkable man took to the grave on the 13th Sept. Even tho we didn't know till the 19 th Sept. R. I. P. Roger
I was this many years old (written in March 2024) when I found out that Roger could sing like this!!! WOW!!! I also didn’t know that he covered “The Lion Sleeps Tonight!” Just amazed at the breadth of his vocal talent! I first heard Roger (via radio) in the mid-1970s singing “Durham Town,” followed a couple of years later singing it in French, and with what I consider to be a very authentic French dialect. What a true talent he was. Just amazing.
I've been a fan of RW for most of my life but this is the worst piece of crap I've ever heard. Linda would be rolling in his grave. And to think I actually was went looking for a version by RW.
He was brought up in Kenya, & speaks at least two African dialects, so he's probably more entitled than most to use those talents & experience to entertain, don't you think? I wish people would Google stuff before spouting crap!
He actually sang at least one song that you can't find today because the anti-South African/anti-racists. Couldn't understand there was nothing anti- African intended. It was a song that he heard song by workers.
My condolence to one of the brilliant English musicians Roger whittaker who passed away this week and my sympathy to his family ❤❤❤
He was Kenyan not English
I am a lifelong fan but I have never heard him do this version before. Awesome.

Me three dude. I've heard him do this song but NEVER like this.

Reminds me of Karl Denver's antics! Priceless times and experiments, real talents and versatility.
My mama loved to listen to him sing i grew up listening to his music 🎶
I think my fave from Roger will always be the song "why" so much meaning esp in the lyrics

Love the whistle gristle, I can do exactly that, but i still prefer Karl Denver's version and I don't mean that Rog's is bad its really good.
Hysterical. I thought it was Will Ferrell.
Great singer. That said, Bert Kaempfert has performed this song better - personal taste …..!

Wow guess someone has to have the worst version of this song and this is definitely it >.
Only thing worse than this would be an RnB version of this
