    Amazing Grace by Judy Collins was one of my mum's funeral songs in 2021. So that brought back a memory for me
    All the best Johnnie. A radio giant

    Mate that was a brilliant tribute and broadcast by yourself too buddy… thank you for sharing those very special moments with us. I think I may go and tape JW show onto my Sony RR tale recorder from BBC sounds before it disappears.. very moving to hear Johnny he sounded very emotional and who wouldn’t be. Those of us who were alive in these last 5 or 6 decades were very fortunate

    My mother told me apparently in the 60s when I was in my high chair in the kitchen mum used to have Radio 1 on and she said the only one I used to bang a rhythm to in the high chair to was the Johnnie Walker show 📻🎶⭐️⭐️ 👶 keep well Johnnie 🤞

      Hemming 49 and yes his interviews are legendary. The book is so good. He was very different to many 1969s DJs . They would agree. In many ways he was a music producer

    I remember Johnnie from pirate radio days. I made a point of listening as much as I could back then and refused to listen to Radio 1 for years afterwards. If my memory serves me correctly, Johnnie did a special show the day after Otis Redding died.

    Thank you Johnnie Walker for all the entertainment you brought us over the years,
    Sunday's won't be the at 3pm to 5pm, Happy retirement God bless.
    Its sad now the only decent D.J on the radio is Tony Blackburn and we know the brilliant
    Bob Harris will do a great job from next Sunday on Sounds of the 70's but it wont be the same without the brilliant Johnnie Walker.

    • @tillyupnorth
