  • 70's or 60's Song with whistling at the beginning & possibly throughout

    Trying to id a track with echoey melancholy whistling in the intro, quite a long passage & then the music comes in

    not even sure it had words but may have done, remember it not being upbeat & quite solemn in a way

    Could whistle it now but can't for the life think what it could be, google has failed me too

    The first thing that pops into my mind is The Stranger by the brilliant Billy Joel.

    It has very solemn sounding whistling on the intro & outro.

      Excellent tune, ticks the boxes, unfortunately it's not the one though, although thanks for posting that, forgot all about that one

              Good picks, not those though, Roger Whittaker was a don at whistling though.

                Might be a old sounding modern song

                      Whoa


                      what on earth! this is the whistle & the melody, but I swear the song is older I was looking for. I'm sure I heard this when I was a kid!!?!

                        Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

                        No wonder I couldn't find it, was looking too far back

                        I'm sure I heard this in the 80s though
