The worlds first disc jockey, at a dancehall in Leeds using his mothers record player. Caused an outrage with the musicians union who until his innovation all music was played live.
An ICON R.I.P job well done :'(

RIP Jimmy - can wait to see the tribute progs - great memories
-
One thing's for sure. If there is an afterlife Jimmys fixing it upstairs! ;) :y RIP :'(
-
I hate to see anyone pass away :( but I have to be honest, I could not stand the bloke. I appreciate what he did with his charity work (Stoke Mandeville, etc) and I applaud him for that, he was second to none.....but to watch him on the telly was, to me was......excrutiating :)
-
At least this gem of a guy died at home in leeds and not at his house in Glencoe,not many neigbours about :(
-
Whilst I readily acknowledge the huge amount of money raised by him for charity I cant but agree with terbert here. To me there was always something "not quite right" about him and Im afraid I mean that more in a slightly "creepy old man" sense than "atypical eccentric Englishman". Whatever your feelings on Louis Theroux certainly Sir Jimmy didnt come out too well in that documentary. As for the persistent rumours around his sexual preferences or his masonic links who knows. Doesnt seem to be any hard evidence to back up a lot of the former claims at all but I dont doubt that there was a "darker" side to the man in some sense :-\

I used to live a few hundred yards from Stoke Mandeville Hospital, and he was a familiar sight there. I've had the pleasure of meeting him in his apartment there.
Eccentric, unique, either love or loath, he did an awful lot for charity. RIP

Yes, I'm inclined to agree with a lot of that Jerry but - as TB says - would acknowledge his many charitable works.
Very much a 'Marmite' character I would suggest (especially amongst his contemporaries in the business).
-
Slightly strange oddball eccentric. Never married. Kept all his dead mother's clothes. Did many good things for charity. I liked him. An enigma.
-
Always a bit creepy and many rumours about having a 'darker' side,there have been but a few quite guarded tributes that i have seen for such a well known celebrity.And he lied (or forgot) about never having been to Jersey childrens home Haut de la Garenne,when the police claimed he'd been there several times and had pictures of him sitting out on the lawn with the children.

:-\ Lets be honest, how many of us don't have a "dark side"?
-
RIP a classic eccentric Englishman. Achieved much good in his life and entertained millions of people, for which I'm sure he will be remembered. :y

agree with every word you said. i remember watching the louis theroux film and thinking he was just plain mean!
-
now then now then hows about that then ;D jimmy was a bit oddball but had a heart of gold :y
-
what happened in the louis theroux doc??? didnt see that.
-
Think bits of it are still on youtube Webby. He talks about his time running nightclubs and puts in a slightly NormanBates turn where he keeps all of his (deceased) mum's clothes still in her old flat. As for the latter,well everyone deals with grief differently but he makes some rather strange unguarded comments which sort of go against his more public personna should I say....
