This lovely man is our David Jacobs, and here’s an extremely rare clip of one of the very first Pick Of The Pops shows. This was three years before the great Alan “Fluff” Freeman took over in 1962.
This was the only radio show that played chart hits in 1959, apart from the clicking, hissing Radio Luxembourg  for one hour on Sunday afternoons. My, how we envied you guys in America!
A typical upper-class British voice on the radio, David went on to present TV’s classic 60’s Pop show Jukebox Jury. In good shape for its age, this show features many US and British tracks that are now widely regarded as “classics”. Magic radio!
