RIP.
What a silky voice.
Spent many a working Saturday morning testing ourselves at work on Sixties songs.
Done a fair bit of radio work over a long career.
Easy Beat being a pre cursor to Radio I.
Didn't realise he was a Covkid.

RIP. Radio legend. If he knew he would've probably had a bit of a chuckle the other day at the mix up. Felt for the family though!

Could you expand on that CJ.
Read he'd had a short illness in January and was upset at the announcement Tony Blackburn had been installed as a replacement.

The BBC announced his death prematurely a few days ago then had to retract it. They also repeated the lie that Brian had 'stepped down' voluntarily from his favourite show when they had in fact fired him from it.

Thanks DM.
Poor!
But not surprising these days.
