I was sorting out some old tapes today and found an unmarked C90.
It turned out to be a Peel show from 1999, featuring The Woodbines in sesson.
Towards the end of the show he announces "Here's one for the Pig" and plays the Otis Redding song "Let Nothing Separate Us".
I'll let nothing separate us
I'll let nothing, no, no, separate us
What you ask me, to do or say
I'll tell you everything, lord, is okay
And I'll let nothing separate us
I'll let nothing, no, no, no, worry or trouble your mind
When this whole world, comes to an end
I'll be standing there
Holding your trembling hand
I won't let nothing separate us, oh now
....
Honey, when this whole world comes to an end
I'll be standing there holding your tremblin' hand
And I won't let nothing, no, no, separate us
Nothing in the world
I won't let nobody, nothing, touch you
I won't let nobody, nothing, just say anything
And I'll just be right with you baby
Darling 'till the end
At the end John says "Why do those things always make me cry?"
Me too.
Cheers
Alan
PS Channel 4 are showing Sound Of The Suburbs on Tuesday night.
Their web-site says
"OXFORD - Another chance to see a classic episode of the series in which the late, great DJ journeyed through the suburbs and satellite towns of Britain, examining the landscapes and social conditions that gave birth to so many world-influencing musical and youth movements."
Sounds like it's going to be just one episode, not the whole series.
PPS Can't remember many "world-influencing musical and youth movements" from Oxford.
