Free Music Review: Great overview of Roger's career
Hit: 5 Stars
Born in Kenya of English parents in 1936, Roger spent his childhood in Kenya before moving to South Africa in 1956, later moving to Britain in 1959. He didn't originally plan a musical career but gradually drifted into one, or so it seems. Success was slow to come Roger's first significant success came in 1967 with Mexican whistler, which was a huge hit in several European countries but failed to chart in Britain. His popularity spread to Australia and Canada before he finally had a top twenty UK hit with Durham town at the end of 1969. In the following year, Roger made the UK top ten with I don't believe in if anymore. A UK top twenty hit, New world in the morning, came later that year. Two minor hits (Why, Mammy blue) followed in 1971, after which the hits dried up - for a while.
In 1975, Roger had his most successful hit when Last farewell made number two in the UK and also made the top twenty in America. Elvis Presley later covered the song. Despite making further excellent records such as River lady and First hello last goodbye, Roger again disappeared from the British charts. He returned just once more, when a duet with Des O'Connor (Skye boat song) just made the UK top ten in 1986.
Seven UK hits hardly does justice to Roger's illustrious career, in which he has sold many millions of albums around the world, but this collection contains all those songs, plus the others I've mentioned and some other great songs including two new ones specially recorded for this compilation, which provides a great introduction to Roger's music.
