	Disc jockey Summary
		Disc jockeys enjoyed the most influence on their listeners in the 1950s and 1960s, when they introduced new music to Americans and made rock and roll the dominant force in youth culture.
		Disc jockeys found that repeated play of a record could make it a hit and the mythology of rock and roll is full of stories of unknown performers becoming stars overnight because of a radio personality who "broke" the record to his listening audience.
		Professor Jam, a Tampa Bay, Florida disc jockey already known in the industry for having performed for many celebrities and television networks, became one of the first mobile DJs in the United States to regularly use computer technology to play music at his shows, and was the first professionally endorsed computer disc jockey internationally.

	Alan suggested 'Fluff snuffs it' as his obituary \| Dt Opinion \| Opinion \| Telegraph
		Quite a few disc jockeys have died suddenly (John Peel, for instance, had a heart attack) and at least one (Lord Haw-Haw) has been executed, but Freeman was the first to pass away in an old folks' home.
		Disc jockeys of Freeman's generation were, it seems, deeply attached to their jewellery.
		Disc jockeys are expected to rabbit on for hours on end, but their conversation is all one way.

	Alan Freeman Remembered
		His flamboyant and eccentric presenting style, crashing together different musical genres amid a barrage of catchphrases such as the celebrated "not 'arf!" or the perennial "greetings, pop pickers", was scarcely to all tastes, but once heard it was rarely forgotten.
		His first radio job was as an announcer on the 7LA station in Launceston, Tasmania, in 1952 and he gained further radio experience on the Melbourne station 3KZ between 1953 and 1957, but it was not until he visited England on holiday in 1957 that his career began to take shape.
		Detecting the looming impact of rock'n'roll in Britain, Freeman took the decision not to return to Australia, and landed himself a job as summer relief disc jockey on Radio Luxembourg.

	Martin Kelner, Random thoughts on sex in old age, Pete Murray, and Jimmy Young
		Apart from his ridiculous insistence in the latter years of his career on being called Peter rather than Pete, this charming man never did any harm to anybody and we wish him many more years of happy retirement, assuming he is happy and indeed retired.
		Jimmy Young, on the other hand, was a pestilence suffered in silence by those of us who grew up in the sixties, and were forced to listen to his “singing” on the radio, while waiting to hear the latest release from The Beatles.
		JY, in case you are interested, now lives in Dunjockin’, the home for retired disc jockeys set up by the BBC in a disused Victorian hotel near Hastings, where he is being well looked after.

	Last Night a DJ Saved My Life
		Martin Block was the first real star among disc jockeys, one of a handful of successful characters who paved the way for the rapid postwar rise of the DJ.
		Just as a Texas disc jockey might play The Crystal Spring Ramblers and promote animal feed to ranchers, in New York a DJ would play Red Prysock and rely for his income on advertising hair oil to Harlem.

	OBITUARY: JOHNNIE STEWART Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		The disc jockey Jimmy Savile hosted the very popular Teen and Twenty Disc Club on Radio Luxembourg, and, in 1963, the BBC producer Barney Colehan thought his format could be adapted to television.
		This is a departure from normal BBC practice, but the rule is being relaxed because the purpose of the programme is to let you hear the discs exactly as recorded, though within the setting of a television programme.
		Savile realised that he was only on screen for a total of two minutes in each show and so he made himself as flamboyant as possible; once colour television was introduced, he even had tartan hair.

	All Systems Freeman - 2 \| Halcyon Days
		As his BBC success developed he was still recording almost daily for Radio Luxembourg in their London studios, as the erstwhile resident announcer who was now a celebrity disc jockey in his own right rather than a resident station announcer.
		Jimmy Savile, Jack Jackson, Pete Murray, David Jacobs, Keith Fordyce, Bill Crozier, Alan Dell, David Gell, Don Moss, Brian Matthew, Jimmy Young and even (heaven’s above) the nationally iconic Jean Metcalf managed to balance commercial and public service work in a way that might seem unlikely in retrospect.
		Jack Jackson, a legendary wartime band leader who after the war changed tack mid-career to become an equally legendary radio presenter (you were either legendary or nothing in those days) was considered by many the senior figure in the deejaying ‘profession’ in the early sixties.

	Television Heaven
		Introduced by genial host David Jacobs the very first panel consisted of disc jockey Pete Murray, singers Alma Cogan and Gary Miller and, representing the typical teenager, Susan Stranks (later a co-presenter of children's TV show Magpie).
		While each of the six or seven records played (nine were normally selected with the last two being held back as standbys in case the show under-run), the viewing audience would be entertained by seeing the reaction of the panel and the studio guests, this being long before the days of the pop video.
		Although the show was criticised in the early days as silly with ill-informed panellists and too much chatter between discs, it had an enduring appeal that led to two revivals, first in 1979 hosted by Noel Edmonds and the second in 1989 hosted by Jools Holland.

		He was at the frenzied Tory trade unionists rally where it emerged that such important celebrities as Lulu, Pete Murray (a disc jockey) and Eric Sykes were Conservatives.
		Before Mrs Thatcher came on, Mr Prior, acting as a warm-up man, felt obliged to say "bloody" a number of times.

	Next week's guest judge? Neil Sedaka - Fans Of Reality TV

		In the late ‘80s, Neil intensified writing lyrics and was sufficiently confident to uniquely compose sophisticated and spiritual lyrics that would best respect the tunes of the great masters.
		BBC disc jockey Ed Stewart told me that Neil is an ace talent!

		Just about everyone had a go at it down the years, from the barely-remembered (disc jockey Don Moss) to the fondly recalled (the inevitable Terry Wogan) and the frankly miscast (Noel Edmonds fronting a ballroom dancing competition?
		True enough, the show did seem a little anachronistic for much of its existence, but it did try to move with the times, with new styles like rock 'n' roll and disco added to the existing categories (we don't think there was ever a category for body popping, though).

		`Yes, he's a......!' said Pete with gritted teeth, a sentiment with which I entirely agreed.
