Word In Your Ear

Word Classic Podcast 022 - things your parents said when Top Of The Pops was on


Listen Later

With Paul Du Noyer and Rob Fitzpatrick - did the end of Top Of The Pops kill our interest in the charts? Fond memories of buying singles in Woolies (just closed). Ron Diggins, first ever DJ! Is music hall the default setting for most pop music? Nostalgic talk about 60s football TV coverage. Andrew Harrison interviews Sparks. Tito Jackson turns up in Torquay. Great story about Champion Jack Dupree living in a council house in Halifax - if you knocked on his door with a bottle of whisky he'd give a barrelhouse piano performance in his living room.
