The Last Farewell, Irish Songs, Episode 224
"The Last Farewell" is a song by the British folk singer Roger Whittaker who did the vocals on the original recording and Ron A. Webster who wrote the poem and the lyrics. Whittaker hosted a radio program in the United Kingdom, backed by an orchestra with arrangements by Zack Lawrence. Roger Whittaker said, "One of the ideas I had was to invite listeners to send their poems or lyrics to me and I would make songs out of them. We got a million replies, and I did one each week for 26 weeks."
