Had a little cry. He sounded much younger and high pitched than I recall joining later in the mud 80s but his gorgeous humour is shining through. I hear him laughing at himself which I loved. Forever missed xx
wrighty was good wasn't he, much missed. iv not listened to him in years due to work etc etc but when I caught him on a Sunday now and again and I enjoyed it but since his passing iv delved into his past shows ( god bless RU-vid ), and yeah ., he was a superb DJ, could easily hold a show on his own. RIP
Don't remember that happening to radio 1.stev Wright mention it was 10pm not 10am stev sounds nervous which was understanding as it was his first time on a big station
Lovely to hear how Steve sounded (understandably) trepidatious in his first couple of links - but by 15 minutes in was totally loving his big new experience, and was brimming with confidence. ❤
His first show? Wow! Never heard this before.Straight from the off, he engaged his audience, and made them feel part of the show.Brilliant interpretation of what was needed to make it all work.From his first show, to his last he made you feel you were important.You were the important one! Not him or the artist.Not many could carry that off with sincerity. But Wrighty certainly could! The impressions were also there at the beginning, and all the 'bits and pieces' were already permutating in the background. He really was a one off! Such a special individual and broadcaster.So sad listening back to this, and thinking we will never hear his brilliance on the airwaves again. That is why all the clips of his shows should be played as much as possible, and saved for posterity.So a new generation can come in and pick up from where Steve left off, and create their own style.There will be only one Steve, but "zoo radio" will live on.Thanks to the Godfather Steve Wright. Miss ya Steve.God bless. Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much for this upload. I don't think Steve would mind me saying, I thought there were elements of Everett (OMG I just typed that a second or two before Steve said "Everett" @11:36..... you trying to tell me something Steve? Allo boy!) and great to hear the Gambo jingle and Tommy Vance introduction. RIP Silly Boi. Missin' you and doing some serious grievin' (without the G). Keep ya tongue aht! ❤🙏❤
So good that it was worth suffering AM reception to listen in. His style never changed over the years, he always seemed like that old mate who was always there.
I probably listened to tis at the time as I had no tv at the time and all I didi was listen to radio 1...remember Steve with Mike Read with the Read and Wright show on Saturdays i think in '79 ..this must be when he got the show all to himself
I see Tommy Vance gave his producer Trevor Dann a mention, years later to be one of the hatchet men of Radio 1. By the way, this is great audio quality. Doubtful it came off the AM broadcast 🤔
When he started pick off the pops they stopped him singing at the end of the songs. Never knew sang along from the early days. Sunday love songs is now flat with what they’ve brought in
It’s a matter of tast but you can’t go wrong with Gary Davies as a temporary sit in.Sunday love songs has gone flat with presenter which was only to be expected with what I’ve heard her do sitting in for other resenters
Gary is a natural. I’d quite like him to be permanent. But U can’t imagine anyone else doing LoveSongs. That really was Steve’s show. I feel they should have ended it when Steve passed. RIP Steve.
@@highpath4776 Radio 210 I think ?, before moving to Luxembourg. But even so, if he had started on BBC local stations or college radio, stations like Luxembourg and Caroline, I believe, allowed jocks to experiment and find their own style without too much external input. The number of people that started off on these stations and moved directly to Radio 1 was quite high, over the years. Perhaps poaching is a bit unfair, as those that did move, probably had that career path in mind anyway. But there was a sort of National training ground and somewhere they’d get noticed, before switching to R1. Now the BBC just seem to use presenters off the TV.
anyone know anything about Steves funeral ?...we had to listen to SARA COX crying down the mic the day he passed, now shes laughing and joking and not a mention of his funeral !
