Val joins Roger LIVE on The Val Doonican Music Show in 1984 as he runs through a medley of his hit songs. The Last Farewell, Durham Town and The Mexican Whistler are included.
This is television at its absolute best. Roger was fantastic.
A breath of fresh air in this muddled up world 🙏
Fresh ?
Yes!
Well… a wonderful breeze from the past…. Both Val Doonican and Roger Whittaker have passed on from this mortal world, and I for one miss their old world charm
The sad recent passing of Roger Whittaker and that of Val Doonican several years ago leaves a huge void in the wonderful, but now forgotten, music of yesteryear of which they were a big part. They are both unforgettable.
I didn't hear of Rogers passing at the time. God spared me that
Roger always gave the impression that he was enjoying every second of life and nothing could bring him down👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The most awesome thing a man can do.
Amazing talents Roger and Val. They talk, joke and then flip a switch and those vocals emerge. Born to do what they did!
I hope that the people who were there watching this live fully appreciate the sheer magnitude of what they're seeing and hearing. Legends doing what what they do best, being masters of their craft . I'm so glad I stumbled on this video, what a treat 😊
Yes ditto this is pure quality from a better calmer safer nicer world....
i AGREE with you ..@@digitalmediafan
Absolutely I agree! The great days of great tv and great acts! Wonderful wonderful 👌🌈❤️🤗👌
They were good, Val was one of my mum's favorites, and Roger was simply brilliant.
They ply their craft so beautifully and make it appear effortless. When I was young I never missed The Val Dominican Show. It was pure pure excellent entertainment. What a pro and a gentleman as is Roger Whittaker. It’s seems these days that there has to be an “edge; cynicism, ATTITUDE” in all entertainment plus ear shattering and vocal acrobatics???!!! In some areas it has a place sometimes but PLEASE not all the time. Not necessary. We need these excellent entertainment/variety shows to return!!! I’m fed up of the incessant talent shows that swamp the world now, mostly singing. This is deemed our variety now. I’ve turned them off for a long time and look for the greats on TH-cam. Btw did you know that Val was a wonderful artist too. You can find his art on TH-cam. Sorry about that; I needed to get that off of my chest. 🤗🥰
At last, a bloke who can actually whistle properly. What a pleasure to hear.
Thank the Lord
I miss the old variety shows from the good TV days, we need them back. This talent is precious.....
I agree. I just love a variety show.
Roger Whittaker... What A Voice !!! He will be missed.
💯 agree
They will both be sorely missed to my mind, my favourites for certain! Don’t they harmonise brilliantly too! 😊😊 Rest In Peace Roger and Val, we loved you then and still do now!😊
Brilliant ❤@@fionathomson4436
The Last Farewell could be made into a wonderful movie methinks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I grew up listening to these guys and at the grand old age I am at i still listen to them such wonderful guys in harmony and Roger's whistling just knocks it out the park as they say , even as a kid I loved watching the Val Doonican show on a Black and White TV that was no bigger than 16" in a wooden cabinet And look at TV s nowadays take up most of one wall .
I sent this to my 90 year old dad. Thanks for posting this. Took me back to my childhood. 😊
As an old Durham lad living in the US this duet touched my heart!
With both men so as ease about their talent,this was pure gold.Thank you guys.
So pleased I kept all my old LP vinyl. Was only yesterday I sat and listened to Val Doonican while I enjoyed my quiet time after working all day. I'm 83 and I do volunteer work from home. Roger Whittaker is also one of my favourites I listen to a lot.
Hardcore Roger Whittaker fan here. Been to 14 of his concerts!! Roger and Val's voices blend so beautifully! Such a rich sound. They don't make singers or song like this anymore; and it's so sad. Thank God we can find quality music like this on TH-cam.
I fully agree Cheryl Roger Whittaker is a great singer
I totally agree that their voices blend as much as the Everly Bros!
@@johnlappin5881 That is all right with me ,,
Great voice 🙏
Class.
A fresh breath from the world I once knew.
Two legendary singers who touched many lives, that's a fact.😌
He can sing. He can whistle .He can entertain. What a wonderful talent Rodger Whittaker was and still is. God bless him.
And a lovely speaking voice too 😊
Val done well .
@@gerrynicol3951 rip Val
Both together is superb.
Two wonderful Gentlemen
This takes me straight back to my childhood when they had wonderful family entertainment, entertainment that wasn't full of filth and bad language. We had the best of times in the 60s and 70s, enjoying the talent of the 50s on our tv screens, radios and record players coupled with the newer music of the 60s and 70s.
Spot on Kerry... Us too...
RIP. To the 2 brilliant Singers Roger and Val. Part of our Sound Track of music memory Forever.
I’m 54 now and I remember these songs as a young kid in Australia back in the 70s. I remember the choruses like it was yesterday.
Me too mate
I can still see the paisley carpet
On the lounge chairs
And the floor
Strewth
It was a different time
And im glad i got to live it
I'm 69 and loved both of these two artists
R.I.P Roger you were a multi talented man and your songs will live for ever 😢
Roger Whittaker, The humble genius. What a great character! wonderful example of a real smart gentleman. Kudos to Val Doonican too!
Sure!
Both great talents and real gentlemen not trying to upstage each other and just complimenting each other great stuff.
Val and Roger talent yesterday today two talentless ant and Dec Rubbish money for old rope
Complementing!
oh times change
@@austinsouthward7208 - Roger did National Service in the Kenyan Regiment while Val was educated by the brotherhood in Eire, hence they both grew up to be GENTLEMEN. Not adulterous, drink-driving louts like McPartlin.
These are what used to be called raconteurs and entertainers, not like today's 'celebrities'.
Roger Whitteraker one of the best ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Both of them were legendary entertainers.❤
What great artists these wonderful men were. And this video brought a smile and a few tears. Both Whittaker and Doonican brought so much happiness to so many of my generation. Well played, M/S Whittaker and Doonican. May you forever rest in peace and happiness wherever you are.
So true.
As a child I hated The Val Doonican Show. My Dad watched it every week. Now I adore it.
I used to hate Roger for 45 years , I Love him now .
saw Roger Whittaker perform in Dublin at the National Stadium in 1973/4 . Brilliant singer ! How the years have flown !
Both wonderful voices and had many great hits. I loved Vals A Million Miles from Nowhere.
They don't make musicians like this today.Great stuff
Remember as a kiddie watching these guys - even as a child I realised how special they were
Sheer pleasure to listen to these two sing together, their voices blend so well
Enjoyed both of them as a teenager in the sixties. Now 72 and so pleased to have come across the two singing together
Snap
This legend has just gone over to the other side. ...RIP Mr Whittaker. You were one of my favorites even from my childhood, one of the best.
Ah... how I remember the Halcyon Days of my childhood: where nothing base, vulgar, or violent ever intruded into our lives through the TV screen. We had Val Doonican, Morecambe and Wise, Shirley Bassey, and so many other wonderful artists in our Sitting room every night. They became part of us... and we loved them.
totally agree they was great tv artists sadly will never see the likes again
Amen
HEAR HEAR!!! I quite agree!
I agree things don’t look good for the future
Totally agree. All it is now is swear words, blasphemy, WOKE, . . Even the supposed called comedians think they have to swear to get a laugh!!
Rest in peace Roger
Wonderful memories of my childhood - thank you Roger Whittaker for your music and talent!🙏
Loved these two...naturally talented...when Saturday nights were great...the shite we have to watch now 🎤🎶❤🎶❤
you beat me to it.
just dumbing down the masses
You don't "have" to watch it. The fact that you're willing to watch it is what has encouraged the producers to provide it for you. Ultimately, you did this!
@@georgeroberts442 ????
I laughed at your comment, I think you sum up the mood of a nation of people who remember what good Saturday night television was like. Gawd Bless Ya, from all of us!
Listening to this, I'm back in my parents house in the 70's,all of us sat around the TV on a Saturday night watching decent entrainment, no effing or jeffin , no half clothed girls and no scandal around these two either.
Exactly
Yes good family entertainment,it was great!I actually saw The show live in the early 80s as well 😀
We did not had TV in those days,but we had the music.
@@rudiekeyser2495 TV wasn't the reason back then, it was just the carrier. Music will always carry itself.
You must have been a right boring bastard
Fantastic singers and great entertainers.Used to love Vals show, the good old days of family viewing now sadly gone.
Such warm voices, and so easy on the ear, they should have made an album together, fabulous stuff.
No auto tune , the harmonies on new world in the morning and the last farewell are epic.
Both FANTASTIC entertainers, always in the media attention for the right reasons.
Sadly missed.😢
Beautiful. RIP. Thank you.
Wish we had musicians like that coming up today.
Deeply saddened at the news of Val Doonican's death - his catchy songs 'Patrick Mcginty/Delanys Donkey and others brought laughter/tears to millions of viewers - may he bring as much love and laughter in heaven as he dI'd is on earth.
😥
Oh my word! This takes me back to the seventies' Saturday night TV! It when the public watched professionals rather than professionals watching the public. Just brilliant.
Or awful celebs on tv
Ofcourse!
Beautiful memories... Thanks gentlemen, both of you... My parents had all their albums... Grew up listening to the best of British, American talents of this generation...
Then the Beatles appeared as we hit teenagehood...
But these two talented people remain in bedded in the foundations....
The amount of talent displayed here is insane. They did this live too.
Awesome entertainment !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw val donnican in concert in 1964 in Belfast and shook his hand. He was a great entertainer singer and guitarist. Can't think of anyone better. A great ambassador for ireland
Just proves how spoiled I was as a child/ teenager to be able to sit down on a Saturday evening watching wonderful shows like this with my family. Mum and dad singing along while us children ate our special Saturday supper (often a home baked cake with hot chocolate or milkshake)
Val was always such a gracious host-- also loved these two.
Thanks for the love and compliment 🌹
What a great clip this is. Grew up with these two guys' music playing in our house. They were two of my mum's favourite singers. RIP RW.
We need more of this on our TV's now. The feel good factor is hard to find these days.
I'm a massive fan of German Heavy Metal, but I love Roger Whittaker, such a talent and voice.
NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!
Happy days 😚
Awesome. I have been listening to him for almost 40 years and still love to hear his gentle voice.
Heaven gained 2 angels with you guys sadly missed rip both
Two giants of easy listening!....Roger Whittaker was a superstar in Germany and many other countries around the world, he had his last German chart hit in 2010 with a song called 'Shannon River Lady' and he played his final series of concerts in Germany in 2013 at the age 77. He now lives in France with his wife..hope he enjoys a long and happy retirement.
Donald Fagens latest Album
Donald Fagen
Donald Fagen was in Steely Dan, I believe
Does his wife yodel?
Still alive ?
Good old fashioned entertainment. Where on earth has it gone?
2very very very laid back men. Brilliant that whistle wow
Two great singers, who could show some of the young pretenders to the throne how it’s done...
Val Doonican could sing with everybody!
He was so relaxed and welcoming.
I didn't think that combination could possibly work but it did so marvellously and a joy to listen too. There is a deep richness in Roger Whitakers voice.
This Roger Whittaker medley is absolutely wonderful and Val is great as an accomplice. Good times and a great legacy !
they was both woofters
Great...no shows like this now.
No singers like these 2 either.
Val + Roger! Great gentlemen of easy on the ear music! You can see the respect they had for each other!
Absolute genius, the both of them. Sadly gone but never forgotten. Thank you Roger. Thank you Val.
Wow what talent ? Why haven't we got this sort of talent nowadays???
Roger was a musical GIANT in Germany and still is sororly missed!
Roger Whitaker and Val doonican did a lovely group of songs
In Australia 1955, I/we went to a Val Doonican Show & Val kissed my cheek, I was 15yrs of age- & to this dayI still haven't washed that cheek! NOT that I am able to recall which cheek!!!
One word fantastic this is entertainment great entertainers ❤️
The mutual respect and genuine warmth comes across in their duets.
I love ❤ all the old songs I could listen to them all day
..I feel so privileged to do so. Thank-you.
One of the best live concerts I ever attended.
Totally agree with these comments, being a fan of most types of music, went looking for this after hearing `New World In The Morning' on Johnny Walker's Sunday show. This is just brilliant - you could come away on a Saturday night back then actually thinking you'd been entertained. The heads of light entertainment don't have any idea now what to give us in case they offend anyone. I don't think they could run a bath. Ant and Dec - have to agree as well - highest paid autocue readers in the history of television, probably couldn't say good morning without a script to look at first.
very well said 👏
Straight back to my childhood, have so many fond memories watching Val Doonican on Saturday nights with me folks
Always a Roger Whittaker fan, one has to respect Val Doonicans sheer musicianship - what a great combination and yes I see I've been here before with comment.
We played Rogers music at my Uncles funeral 2 months ago.
I first me Uncle Jack when he was going to a R.W. concert, 1975! He married my Auntie 3 years later. He was a special man.
Ik ben mijn vader al 45 jaar geleden verloren in 1979.als ik liedje hoor denk meteen aan mijn vader.hij was gek van dit nr.
What a great pairing of voices! I missed this in 1984 so am very pleased to see this at long last, wonderful. Many thanks for posting this gem from the good old days of television entertainment when we still had real stars of easy listening.
My dad was a roger fan..theses songs bring back great memories of growing up listening to these great songs.
Thanks for the love and compliment 🌹
This era is gone sadly and as much as I like some modern music I will for ever love Roger whitticker
When entertainers were entertainers! Legends both of them.
Wonderful, just wonderful. Two legends together!
I hope when I die il hear the two of em in the next world, an that beautiful whistling of Rodger whitener.
Warms My heart looking back at this, brilliant, these were real stars not trying to out perform each other but enjoying each other and so naturally talented , I so miss shows like this a golden age of class and personality
I recall that Val's show was transmitted live to air. Val Doonican was genuinely unflappable!
apparently dean martin was the same
Absolutely delightful!! What a treat to see these two having a fun musical romp
a pair of singers that quiet literally i emphasise that stuck out from the rest.😊😊😊😊😊
I forgot that Roger could whistle like that! Yh both great talents they were!
The Last Farewell is my favourite Roger Whittaker melody with words written by Ron A Webster.
Magical ! This is when entertainment was truly a joy.
R I P Roger Whittaker loved his Music growing up
What a talented pair, Roger whittaker is pure sublime
I could listen to this all day. Lucky I have lots of time during this lock down to do just that if I choose.
I miss TV like this so much.
