1983 WAS the best year of my life. Steve Wright was simply awesome. Growing up listening to Radio 1 was part of my childhood and I hold it the the highest regards. The tunes were beyond fantastic, its now 40 years ago yet all i want to do is listen to videos like this and remember how great life was back then. Steve Wright should be knighted for making so many lives better, and happy back at a time when we had Greenham Common and all the other crazy stuff going on. Long live Steve Wright...

The music in 1983 was phenomenal, Steve Wright was phenomenal, his guest was phenomenal. He got such an alluring voice that was full of trust and honesty. I loved and literally adored this guy. Turning the volume up was absolutely necessary cos that was how addictive his show was. I worked with 10 other guys and he put us in stitches of laughter.

The Possie ⚠️ Sid the Manager Mr ANGRY Mr Mad Ask Elvis Linda Lust Gervais the hairdresser Hopeless Weather girl Damian the Social Worker Barry from Watford The Pub singer would keep us entertained. Show was a tad silly but definitely made the working afternoon pass quicker !! My 1st job after training for 18 months as a Radar engineer in the RAF , was at RAF Locking in 1981. In 1T hangar where Radio 1 would be playing, Steve Wright came on who I'd not heard before. I was instantly hooked. He would go right up close to the microphone and say "C'mon touch your radio and feel the warmth of my sincerity " 😎 I could not believe it when BBC bosses axed his show in 2022 I cannot listen to Steve's replacement Scott Mills instead I listen to my own music collection instead. Too young to go Steve RIP 💜 Strange this tragedy has happened in the same week BBC are dismantling Wogan house. Nobody has mentioned this butmy belief is Steve couldn't face seeing his studio dismantled and basically destroyed.Dacades of memorabilia GONE.Did Steve died of a broken 💔?RIP Steve. You have been my afternoons since 1981 x

@arthurvasey3 жыл бұрын
Radio 2 would have a sports programme on Bank Holiday and allow Radio 1 a rare, yet welcome, opportunity to broadcast on FM, usually between 2 and 7 pm! They should have launched on VHF, as it was called for many years, from the get-go - they were playing all the latest hits, plus random oldies across the day - and that would have benefited from being in stereo - unfortunately, the BBC saw fit to relegate it to a 💩 medium wave frequency - making it sound worse than the pirate stations it was set up to replace!
