Very sad to hear of the passing of Johnnie Walker – a veteran broadcaster and very decent chap – I was proud to call him my friend. I lost count of how many interviews I did with him – all so positive and helpful.
Johnnie was the last of a breed – an independent thinking and acting spirit in a world which constantly tried to get him to conform.
How I wish I’d spoken to him one more time to convey my respects and affection.
My Mum loved him – she always noticed that he would play our music (early Queen songs) when it wasn’t fashionable to give us air time. It was typical – nobody got away with telling JW what to do !
My heartfelt condolences to those he leaves behind – much too soon. RIP Johnnie.
Thanks @iswearshesvintage for the clip.
