With a record five-and-a-half-million listeners and 30 years as BBC
Radio 2's top presenter, Sir Jimmy Young left the BBC at Christmas
2002. It was a controversial departure behind which lies a story he
is only now prepared to reveal.;In an extraordinary career which
first brought him fame - and two consecutive hits - as a singer in
the 1950s, Jimmy Young turned to radio when the hits began to dry
up.;His programme was soon to break the mould of other DJs with a
mix of music, recipes and topical items. Always innovative, his was
the first BBC show to broadcast from Moscow during the Cold War.
Other broadcasts from around the world followed.;Eventually the
depth and breadth of his popularity would gain exclusives from many
of the leading politicians of his day - from Margaret Thatcher to
Tony Blair. When his departure from Radio 2 was threatened, MPs
mounted a campaign to keep him.;Despite his high profile, he has
always remained a very private person, seldom giving interviews.
This autobiography tells his story.
