Roger Whittaker, one of the UK's most celebrated folk music singers and best-known as an expert whistler, has died aged 87.

A family statement, reported by German media outlet Bild, confirmed he died on September 13 in a hospital in southern France.

Whittaker was famed for hits including Durham Town, New World In The Morning and a version of Wind Beneath My Wings.
One of my dads and my late father in law’s favourite,could never appreciate him as a younger man but now can see what they liked about him.
 
Lou Deprijck, the Belgian singer who wrote the 1970s punk hit ‘Ca Plane Pour Moi’, has died at the age of 77.

was he plastic bertrand? the music to the song had two sets of lyrics and i don't know how they were connected. apart from the french lyrics, there was also a song called jet boy jet girl by someone called elton motello. sounds like deprijck may have done the french vocals and not pb.

He wasn’t Plastic Bertrand, but it’s his vocals on the Plastic Bertrand hit.
