Rompho Ray Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) RIP His guitar solo in "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" is nearly perfect IMO: Melodically accurate and complimentary, advances the song without taking it over, technically skillful but not overblown. A 20 second masterpiece. Edited April 9, 2023 by Rompho Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see his last UK performance at the London Palladium a few years ago and the show was brilliant. Sir Les Patterson being my favourite character . That said, 89 not a bad age to live to. His performances will last for years, I am sure and hope that TV companies pay tribute by airing some of his best performances, like the Michael Parkinson interview as Sir Les. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That opening riff is still, to me, the greatest pre-game introduction music in team sports. When the Chicago Bulls arena went dark and the laser lights started fanning throughout the crowd accompanied by this riff just before the Bulls players were introduced, you couldn't help but get hyped, even sitting at home, for the opening tip off between the Bulls and whoever, especially a playoff game during the Jordan era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ! I hadn't even thought of that buddy. Can't even count the number of times watching that intro back in the day. It would get you pumped every time ! And I'm talking on T.V. Some really great times back then. It'll never be the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him talking to Rick Stien on his program about Cornwall the other day. He was recounting how he fell down the cliff face they were standing above and luckily survived the fall. I liked his humour and like you, Sir Les was my favourite character. 🤗 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maipenrai Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 RIP Jerry - I was never one for watching much TV at home but used to see the show sometimes when I was on road trips and thought it was hilarious - I often wondered where they found some of those people but I'm sure they had no shortage of applicants, every American wants their fifteen minutes of fame and most don't care what they have to do to achieve it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forqalso Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 In the early ‘70s, Jerry was on the Cincinnati city council but he resigned due to a prostitution scandal in which he admitted to paying for sex with two personal checks. He achieved a political comeback afterwards by being re-elected to the city council and then as mayor for one term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
