Corvus said:Back in the late 60's John Peel through his Perfumed Garden show was the main source in bringing the American "West Coast" bands to the UK, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The Mothers of Invention, Capt Beefheart and The Magic Band, Santana, Misunderstood, Iron Butterfly etc as well as championing their UK counterparts, Pink Floyd, The Move, etc. Music I still love and listen to. As trends changed he was always at the forefront.
A huge loss to the music industry. Without doubt as big an influence as the bands and artists he promoted.
RIP John.
Fascinating. I had never heard that.andy said:He was working in Dallas when Kennedy was assassinated and can actually be seen in a photo of Oswald's "I'm just a patsy" press conference.

But, in Googling for more info, I found this interview with JP.
