@1RWfan. I understand how you feel. My father loved Charlie Rich, Glen Campbell, and Roger Whittaker. All 3 of these artists had their songs played at my fathers funeral.

@1RWfan 2006....I lost my mother that year also. Things have not seemed the same ever since. "I'm gonna leave old Durham Town...that is a very sad song, I feel that too. There are different kinds of soul, David Ruffin, Al Green sure....but this song by Whittaker is as soulful as anything ever recorded. Is it a girl. or a place to which he sings? Maybe both? Maybe we're not supposed to know...

I'd like to hear Englebert Humperdink record this. It kind of sounds like him singing here.
This was Dads favorite song. I will never forget how much he loved
music. He never said a word about the Rock & Roll records we
played. Years later I asked him why he never said anything. He
said because in his day he played the Banjo and wore a Raccoon Coat.
He and my mom loved to dance. I was lucky to have great parents
that all my friends loved. That were a lot of fun.

like so many of you, I first heard Roger as a kid. My uncle had come to town to visit, and had the 8-track tape in his car. Mom and I heard this song and we both fell in love with Roger. I was 12. I would lay in the floor with the headphones on, listening to this tape over and over and over.
The day mom died in 2006, I played LAST FAREWELL and DURHAM TOWN ('last week momma, passed away... Good bye son, was all she'd say"). I cried and cried and cried.
Am now 48 and still LOVE Roger!
