Roger Whittaker - Human whistle (Live performance)

[Slopperdroppper]

He sounds like a grown up Stewie Griffen.



[LetsFly321]

Haha im an african and whistling is part of the language here!! haha

[Corios]

THE GUY AT 3:41 ! hahahaha!

[chocolatedonut31]

What song was it?

[AddictJelleAlex]

@chocolatedonut31 it's called Changelip :)



[chocolatedonut31]

@AddictJelleAlex Thank you SO much. :)

[bs06sam]

Can any other wazungu do this???!

[thirteenpitbulls]

The first time I heard this man sing, I knew!

[Steve1959Nfadin]

The term " legend"  is thrown around way too easily.

Fancy having that much talent ,wisdom and humility ... Roger is a legend in the true sense of the word.

[onebaud]

Just amazing, let me repeat that, Just amazing!

[bazthehandyman]

Get on with it Roger !!

[Jonathan82986]

This song is quite scary.



[MrJackson255]

THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this video!!! I was sitting in the balcony at THIS CONCERT!! My 1st concert. And oh what memories you brought back for me!!! And I do wish that you could/would post more from that concert. It was just wonderful and something all these years later, I still remember fondly. Thanks again!

[BenMcCormack91]

1:29 on the right. Susan Boyle??!!!!

[merchmarine97]

ROGER SHITTAKER !!

[Mashureilly1]

I need to say this - but why do many ppl relate this to susan boyle. I mean his songs are better, and have life long meaning. As well as his ability to sing and perform as well as whistle to an extent that most of us ( in fact I've never heard another ) imitate. Roger Whittaker is a legend and susan boyle is a blip in the matter of life. The two can't be compared.

[JonathanBloggs]

@Mashureilly1 Because she's in the audience at 1:28

[tommydude21]

@Mashureilly1 Watch 1:28. Susan Boyle was CLEARLY there and in my opinion was most likely the mastermind behind Roger Whittaker's whole career. She was Yoda and he a mere padawan. An apparatchik in her master plan...

[TheCrazyRayFamily]

Rest in Peace, my Dad who loved Roger Whittaker, so therefore I grew up listening to his songs and whistles. Happy memories from this video.

[joshplaster64]

very talented singer!



[aronfl]

1:31 Looks just like Susan Boyle

[docdreadtube]

Really cool at 0:43 !!

[timbobimbo22]

1:27 Susan Boyle?

[Mindwanderingguitar]

[MrLegalizerable]

[eduard90990]

Молодец! Заводной!!!:)))

[vildelangdal]

[merchmarine97]

ROGER SHITTAKER !!!!!!!!

[LizzaFlowers]

[myleshamm]

[nani1962]

[manucarlos751]

[tommyrockon]

What's SuBo doing in the audience at 1.27

[conni60640]

Wow, I had the soundtrack to this concert (four albums) years ago... I loved this, thanks for the memories!

[grandmagrumpy]

I hope he never needs dental work on those front teeth...It can ruin your whistle!

[gonrog]

3:27 Someone should make an animated gif of that :)

[kimsoere]

who can do this

[younginspiration1]

@WildmanBorneo racist :S ?? how

[RhodesianBok]

@WildmanBorneo Imbecile.

[WildmanBorneo]

@RhodesianBok Next thing you will tell me is you were is the rhodesian sas....take your big fat head for a shit !

[jimincairns]

@WildmanBorneo He might not have been..but look up Manny Carvallho..

[herchimer]

Susan Boyle at 1:35 ?

[labora4best]

Like Toots Tielamans....whistling lasts longer.

At least , those who think they feel this hits them in their so called "own-only-right-track- face" calm down , and might just finally come to accept the reality-out-of-head....Accepta­nce makes it work. ACDC just doesn't.

[mihranian]

fantastic

Dr.Hermon Mihranian

[ottofan]

1:30 susan boyle on the right side?! ^^

[Tonyoverdrive]

[tod4533]

[strangefacekid]

@tod4533 My Mom was an extra on the Simpsons, she sat next to Marge at an Isotopes game.

[williamswhistlepipes]

that was brilliant. wish i was their, good bit crack, top man.

[HandwhistlerBen]

Amazing ability! I had no idea that Roger was from Africa. His voice was incredible and now this!

[edmonguy]

This was always one of my favourite Roger-tracks. To correct the poster: this performance was with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at the Jubilee Auditorium on September 20th, 1976.

[Tempeldragen]

Indeed! We have that record too; that is when he played wiht the Saffron. Double album. One of my favs ever. Fantastic to SEE.

The Dragon

[watses01]

I haven't heard his singing for a long time. I was glad to find this video footage. Thanks for posting this!

[japanesesen]

GLORIOUS VOICE!!

[holm79]

LOL at 0:40 when he begins that african worksong that black man behind turns around XD

[siasti]

The Cult of Roger

[rilleytherag]

He's right about the suckers in the audience, paying to watch this rubbish! Mad Frankie Fraser told me all about this bloke when they did bird together in Wandsworth... enough said.... BOSH!

[Tarquinbeaniebaby]

Why do old people think this man is good? A nice bloke , yes, but talented?! And old codgers say the music today is shit? Get him back to Durham town and SIT DOON! SIT DOON!

[jonkheere1]

Ha Ha! nice one.

Although I think Simon Cowell left his teeth with the woman sitting in front of her!

[woodlandhydestudio]

1.28 mins in Susan Boyle in crowd?

[perkin158]

lol!

[soberholic]

OMG you're right :D

[siasti]

She's not Canadian, dickwad

[woodlandhydestudio]

I take it you are by that reply

[canadiangirl1041]

we have this dvd, this part ALWAYS cracks me up!!!!!!! lololol

[RMvanderSpek]

Great performer. It's a shame he only does german songs now...

[dymond9999]

Roger Whittaker, the ultimate entertainer.

[Crunchyfrog04]

From Hamburg/Germany: 100 points !

Der "Mexican whistler" ist z.Zt. noch unerreicht.

DANKE! , Mr.Whittaker...

[suzie106]

My nearly 4 year old grandson has just learnt to whistle so I played him the Mexican Whistler - he loved it - and then had a look at this one. We played it 4 times today. He is entranced, as am I. Brilliant! Thanks for posting.

[wenglishsal]

Roger is totally unique and absolutely brilliant too... Yay, I've been looking for this for ages, thank youtube, you have made a silver nanny very happy indeed :0)x

Definitely worth 5*****'s

[Glenmed]

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! Unique musician and great entertainer.

[THEBREEZED]

get mr breeze t show him up and i mean big time forget  britains got talent

[Sopphopper]

he sounds like stewie from family guy:p

[MikaTheSin]

He Does xD

[hardrockerdave94]

What is the name of the song?

[jostaffa]

Changelip

[didoens]

changelip (african whistler).

[6tryphon6]

@hardrockerdave94

The song is called 'Chang Alip'.

[Schollekop1982]

Wonderful :)

[Tarquinbeaniebaby]

I really don't understand how this guy became so popular. People his age say that music today is rubbish, but he is as nutty as a squirrels turd!

[fakeit111]

cos he is a musician unlike some fo toady crap

[Tarquinbeaniebaby]

Are you illiterate? Yes, you must be to write such a poor comment and like this dire music mate! Get a life and treat yourself to some Jacko tickets when they go on sale!

[stanleymiller27]

A good bit of fun

[dymond9999]

Fantastic entertainer!

[Tahsin1998]

[lordantonsebastien]

[guitarmanaruna]

[Quigs1599]

What a talented man. Wish I could whistle like that. Asante sana Roger for all the years of wonderful music! (Asante sana = Swahili for thank you very much)
