Must be honest until quite recently I did not know he was still alive. Very distinctive voice on the radio when I was a kid, seemed like an elder statesman even then. Funny things you think when you are a kid I also thought he was responsible for Jacobs Cream Crackers! RIP
He only stopped presenting his Sunday night show on Radio2 a few weeks ago. Us real music fans were very lucky to have a spell where Sunday nights on Radio2 consisted of the wonderful trio of Malcolm Laycock, Russell Davis and David Jacobs. Just Russell left now. Jacobs would never let an opportunity to send himself up slip by, his hilarious Where Are They Now? features on Kenny Everett's shows were brillant.

That's it! And what about the singing postman from Norfolk: [in the key of E] "'Ave you got a light, boy?"
