Self-professed ‘first’ DJ Sir Jimmy Saville dead.
The man, the legend, Sir Jimmy Saville has died.
wearing tracksuits and bling before it was cool. Being allegedly the first man to use 2 turntables, and fixing it for us all. Rest in peace man.
US guys might not have much idea of who he is, but he’s a British institution, and he will be missed.
R.I.P. Sir Jimmy!
what an amazing guy,not just for his comedy and high profile stuff but for all is charity work he did and the amount of money he raised.x
Very sad news indeed.
100% fact, the first nightclub owner that used 2 turntables.
Another little known fact is that my mums friend was one of his many girlfriends in the 60’s. He was a mentalist.
If you can find Louis Therouxs documentary on him you will love it. You will also realise that he was in fact quite mental.
Louis - “Hi Jimmy, its Louis”
Jimmy - “Yes, its me… All the hair, all the teeth”
He never owned a cooker. His house had no cooker because, cookers mean women, and women mean brain damage. No cooker, no brain damage.
He lived with his mum until she died but he had a caravan that overlooked the house that he slept in when he was “entertaining”. When his mum died he preserved her room exactly as she left it and he had all her clothes dry-cleaned and stored back in the wardrobes once a year.
He called her “The Duchess”
Proper Star.
R.I.P

R.I.P. Sir Jimmy!
Indeed, RIP… a true diamond !
I never got a chance to send my letter. Was sat on the sideboard with a stamp on it and everything.
Dear Jim,
Please could you fix it for me to be awesome. My Mum says I am already awesome but she bakes cakes in the basement. If you cannot fix it for me to be awesome please could you send me a bin liner full of your old track suits, Mum says she’ll wear them to the supermarket on cake day.
Thank you,
Darren, aged 36 and 3 quarters.
Actually, I do. I read about him a few years ago, while researching DJ history.

"…I didn’t think I was entertaining. What I was doing was, I was creating an atmosphere. An entertainer sings, dances, tells jokes, juggles. I don’t do any of that. I was creating, an, atmosphere. And when I got to the big dance halls and I’ve got 3,000 people in front of me and I’m on the stage with just the twin decks. And the records playing. My thrill is looking at them, and they’re all doing what they’re doing because I’ve just put this thing on. It’s a hell of a thing. "
respect
Watched a Youtube video about him today where he was on a treadmill smoking a massive cig lol … its just the way he does it without a care in the world
