All of My Life (The Very Best Of)

Born in Nairobi in 1936, singer-guitarist Roger Whittaker grew up surrounded by a wide variety of musical influences, the rythms of Afican music leaving their mark on Roger throughout his singing career. After his army service, he studied briefly in Nairobi before enrolling at university in Wales. In 1962 he recorded his first single, The Cahrge 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, 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 comedian Des O'Conner.

Roger Whittaker tours frequently, and has performed to capacity crowds throughout the United States, Scandinavia, Germany and Canada.
