Remade Hits
This is one of the few drawbacks of buying online. If I had been able to pick up this cd and turn it over, I would be able to read that almost all of these songs were not original recordings, but remakes. I figured they were "Roger Whitaker- Greatest Hits", not "Roger Whitaker-Greatest Hits Inexplicably Re-recorded".

Too little - Too late
Sadly - this cd is a bad deal. labeled as "greatest hits" - the cd contains only 11 tracks - it is low in quantity (total playing time: 39:18) and in quality. the cd doesn't include whittaker's phenomenal original recordings made in the early 70'ies - but poor re-recordings: the major hits like "durham town" and "the last farewell" are re-recordings from 1986 and simply cant be compared with the original recordings. the only reason i gave the album 2 stars and not 1 is for the featured song "river lady" - which is an original recording from 1961 and is just a great recording - featuring whittaker's rich and full voice from that time.

Lovely Best Hits Album!
Roger Whittaker has been called the most traveled entertainer in the world because of his enduring international popularity, braced by a slew of albums that have enjoyed continuing support form a legion of fans from everywhere from San Francisco to Siberia. This collection of his greatest hits is but a small representation of the total corpus of his recording work, which consists of dozens of albums. This engaging native of South Africa continues to entertain, and is still recording. So, although he doesn't enjoy much air-time or hit the top ten any more, he is still actively in the recording business.

Included in this greatest hits album is "New World In The Morning", "Durham Town", "I Don't Believe In If Anymore", and my own personal favorite, "The Last Farewell". Also found here are "I Am But A Small Voice", "River Lady", "You Are My Miracle", and a lovely cover of "The Wind Beneath My Wings". Also included are "Albany" and "The Skye Boat Song". This is a lovely album showcasing the talents of one of the world's favorite entertainers, and one that you will love listening to. Enjoy!
