According to the notes: "Born in Nairobi in 1936, singer-guitarist Roger Whittaker … performed in nightclubs in Nairobi before enrolling at university in Wales. In 1962 he recorded his first single, The Charge of the Light Brigade. A prize-winner in the 1967 Kaokke Song Festival in Belgium, he enjoyed great success in Europe with Mexican Whistler and his version of If I Were a Rich Man, followed by hits in Britain like Durham Town and I Don't Believe in If Anymore. He broke into the American Top Twenty with The Last Farewell (RCA, 1971), the lyrics to which were written by a listener to Roger Whittaker's BBC Radio series. He had a surprise British hit with the traditional Skye Boat Song, a duet with singer/comedian Des O'Connor."
Released in 1994, newly added to our collection at a patron's request.
