Roger Whittaker.

Here's a singer that belongs to a small group of voices that does not match the face or "Vice Versa"....he has that distinction of a dark brown mellow voice with very distinctive tone that come to fore in a couple of the songs on this L/P...."Dirty Old Town" & "The Last Farewell". it seems that he wrote many of the songs on here and some of the "lyrics" are great !!...Just can't get the opening couple of lines of his song on "Side Two Track 9" out of my head !!..."Quote"
"Myself I'm Made Of Nothing And My Head Is Stuffed With Hay
But My Brother Was A Poet Or At Least That's What They Say.....And of course can't not mention his whistling hit "Mexican Whistler" !!! "This is a great L/P...Thanks to my sister "Rina" for this one !!!

    A man lives as long as there is a man who remembers him. I hope Roger will be remembered forever.
