People tend to forget that, in the 1960s, the most powerful and beloved radio station in Britain was Wonderful Radio London. For any of us who lived in the South of England, it ruled, with Kenny Everett and other great DJs dominating the airwaves. It was the Bog L - Radio London - Fab Forty that mattered.
I was proud to be No1 on their chart (beating The Beatles to the top one week) with Everyone's Gone To The Moon and I just discovered that my "follow up" (I decided I wanted to be an independent record producer, not a singer or pop star) was No1 too.
Hedgehoppers Anonymous hit the top of their chart on Sunday 17th October 1965 with my song It's Good News Week.
