Best beloved and I were listening to Sunday Love Songs this morning ( ) and Steve Wright played by . I think I’m one of about 10 people still alive who love that song without irony. Looking Glass just had the two hits (the other being the fantastic Jimmy Loves Maryanne - Jack and Dianne about 10 years before Mellencamp), but what hits.

Really saddened to hear about the death of .
I have some memories of (probably slightly young to have been target demographic), but would often listen to him on when out and about.

Just listening to ’s crocodile rock on the @saracox show on and it transported me back to being a wee lad when my mam used to buy Top of the Pops records from These were cheap albums with poor cover versions and had terrible photos of women on the cover. Oh my days they were awful.
