I made sure that I listened to his final show a few weeks ago
I seem to recall his āKiss in the Carā late night slot on Radio Caroline around 1963/64.
Used to listen through earphone on my first transistor radio, under the bedclothes.
Pretty racey, exiting stuff when you are 8 or 9!
Very, very sad news indeed!
RIP to a really nice guy who played some great music. Sad to know heās gone. ![]()
Sad news and great memories RIP

A sad loss to broadcasting. Shocked to hear the news at the start of Bob Harrisās show yesterday. One of the first DJās I bonded with back in the 70ās. RIP.
He was a really nice guy, he stayed in accommodation at my local for a few months when he was house hunting after joining GWR radio.
Poured me many a beer when he was helping out behind the bar.
I never had the pleasure to meet him, but your not the first to say he was a nice guy, listening to him on the radio, he felt like a good mate, where a lot of the current presenters on the radio, donāt come across like that at all, as I said earlier, just glad the beeb handed his show over to Bob Harris.
Amazing radio presenter, from around 10 miles away from me in Brum RIP Johnnie.
