Be sure to stay tuned to radio 2 this week as there will be a big programme in memory of Steve Wright being broadcast this week
Radio 2 will post all their thoughts about Steve after killing his show - probably the best show in the world.
Shame they didn't appreciate him when he was alive 😢
It's not Serious Jockin'. This is Serious Cryin' now that Steve Wright is gone. R.I.P. Legend. We're going to miss you.
Definitely no G 😢
Can't bear it😢
I’ve shed tears over someone I didn’t know. I’m absolutely gutted to hear of his passing 😢 After he left Radio 2 that was it for me, R2 was never the same anymore. Shame on the bbc for pushing him aside. Serious cryin…no g….😢
Sums up the UK. Young idiots trying to make their mark whilst being completely out of their depth and completely out of touch with what people actually want.
I'm 59. Steve has been a massive part of my life. I've listened just about every day for forty odd years. Stunned by his passing. What a Lovely talented Fellow. Gone far too early. Sorely missed. RIP
Couldn't agree with you more Simon. Our parents had Terry, we had Steve - the voice of our generation.
The finest of them all. An icon amongst legends. Biggest audience. Absolutely hilarious and bonkers. Treated badly by the BBC for no reason just because they wanted to tick a box, that hurt him, you could tell. From that point I switched off from any BBC Radio.
RIP Steve and thank you for the decades of fun.
Ageism
In 2022, I underwent open heart surgery, a chapter in my life that was just plain terrifying. During one of my many visits to the hospital for scans and tests prior to the surgery, I entered an MRI tunnel with apprehension. MRI scans are not enjoyable in the slightest. So, when the nurses fitted me up with a pair of headphones, I was absolutely delighted to hear the opening theme tune to Steve Wright’s afternoon show. It was the distraction I really needed at that moment, because Steve’s show was a hugely positive experience every time I listened, and was since my early teens. RIP Wrighty, you were amazing.
I'm so absolutely gutted about Steve and I will forever remember his Jingles from his shows and how he always played Glen Campbell Wichita Lineman 😢😢❤❤
and Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust and Quarterflash, I can't listen to any of those and not think of Steve.
I put Steve’s passing in the same poignancy as when we lost Freddy, George, Bowie and Amy. He was the most amazing broadcaster we’ve ever had the honour of tuning into, his sense of humour was incredible, as well as his music, he had a sincerity about him and his voice had a continuity of reassurance and familiarity, RIP Steve and thanks for everything xxx
Well.....I am not going to lie....this has been a very difficult few hours. Listened to Steve since the 80s and I'm 52 now. Always admired him and spent last few years loving love songs which is the highlight of my week after having lived in Australia for the last 6 years. It reminded me of home....I admired him massively and I just can't believe this has happened. May God always bless you Steve.....love to his kids and family. What a loss 😢❤
Same here Jason. I'm 59. . All the best in Oz. It's cold in North West England.
@simondalzell5635 thanks Simon. You keep warm!
soon be spring@@jasonpetch9403
Never going to be another DJ like Steve-treated terribly as well by the so called family
Yes. I agree. The 'Radio 2 Family' seems to be as toxic as the ITV Daytime one. Poor Steve, I will miss him. Let us hope they don't give Sunday Love Songs to someone like Alison Hammond. I cannot bear her and she is everywhere.
Whole of the BBC is a toxic cesspit 🤬r.i.p Steve ✌🏻
I love Steve, but his afternoon show had become a little self-indulgent....ie: only playing playlist songs for 90 seconds & a full length of it was a favourite. Still was busy at the weekend with shows. Also was on at least 400k a year, so not treated terribly.
@@senorpasso8670 On reflection, and now the initial shock of his passing has subsided, I feel I must agree with you about the show. Perhaps the BBC should have moved him a decade ago to a different slot and created a new format, but who knows? Yes, he was well paid, but he was treated shabbily in the 90s by Radio 1, who wanted him out and put him on at breakfast, where the show didn't work. I thought he was good when he took his posse to the
original Talk Radio in the 90s. They could mess about to their hearts' content and not have to worry about chopping off records partway through. I still think the end of his afternoon show on Radio 2 could have been handled a little more sensitively. It was an age-related thing, which in itself is discriminatory. Can you imagine the uproar had he been black or gay or disabled? The BBC and its dwindling listeners will still be that much poorer-served thanks to Steve's passing. I worked in community radio for nearly six years and even there, the politics involved was dreadful, so goodness only knows what it was like at the BBC. I quit when I felt the wind of change blowing through broadcasting. Yes, even at my modest level I was still subject to OfCom rules and it got to the stage where you could hardly say anything or express an opinion without someone complaining. The fun went out of doing it so I quit. Sorry, rant over. RIP Steve Wright. ❤
Employed for 4 decades, 400 k a year towards the end, multiple TV shows, and about to feature on the New digital channels. We'd all have liked to have been trusted terribly like that!
I grew up listening to Steve throughout my teenage years, early twenties, 30’s, mid 40’s, until the BBC and it’s bosses went all PC, lefty, and woke and clinically started to destroy what I once considered to be a brilliant broadcasting organisation, but not anymore. I ditched the telly and have not had a TV licence since 2008. You will be sadly, missed, radio friend. RIP Steve Wright in the Afternoon.
Serious cryin no g
Thank you Steve for all the happy memories. Listened to you back in the 80s till present and loved your Steve Wright in the afternoon show it was brilliant. Im 62 now. You brought so much happiness to all your listeners. You were a true professional and will be so sadly missed by all your followers. RIP Steve.
Brilliant compilation,RIP. NEVER listened again to R2 since he was removed.
Me too
I was saddened when we lost Sir Terry Wogan,
And now we lost another true great in Steve Wright..
-
These are the finest personalities in broadcasting that can and never will be outdone in their class and greatness.
-
A true great loss.
Rest in peace Wrighty! 🙏❤🪽
Aww just the intro music to his fabulous show had me in tears. You are going to be SO missed mate. I just hope you knew just how much the UK people loved you. An absolute legend, thanks for all the helpless laughter, for the fun, for being you.
Think it would be fair to say, I'm really shocked and totally gutted about this. Excellent DJ, no-one's ever going to come close to his show. My afternoon soundtrack for 23 yrs, plus his show on Radio 1 when I was a teenager. A real loss for radio I think. RIP Steve!
Absolutely gutted....What a voice ! Feels like I've lost a friend !❤
Broadcasting legend. This is a brilliant piece of music
Thanks for uploading this. I’m still genuinely gutted that Steve Wright has passed away. What a man and what a Big Show he presented. Special kudos for the jingle included at 5:06 to introduce Sunday Love Songs, been trying to find that for ages. Memories of being younger and visiting my Grandad on Sundays. RIP Steve ❤️
The Sunday Love Somngs Theme is: Theme from 'The Young And Restless' (Lost)
@@richardatkinson7854Thanks so much for that Richard. It’s sometimes amazing how a piece of music, or in this case, a jingle, can just hold such memories. I was only very young when that jingle was used for Love Songs, so although the programme wasn’t really for me, there of course was the ICONIC and music missed voice of Steve Wright presenting the show.
@@Dan_Blick1986 I remember hearing the jingle at 5:06 fairly recently
That jingle in question comes from Vanessa Williams' Colours of the Wind from the Disney film Pocahontas.
@@grantcampbell9560Thanks so much Grant for sharing that 😊. I’ve just found the full length piece of music on RUclips and I would never have known that was where the jingle was taken from. Apologies if Radio 2 / Steve did continue to use that jingle in recent times for Love Songs - I haven’t listened the programme for a while, yet you always felt “safe” knowing the show was there and that Steve presented it. 24 hours on, it still feels surreal to have to use past tense when referring to him.
Been listening to him since i was at least 3 or 4 years old back home from school and Nursery. Turned 18 a couple weeks ago and i am gutted, what an absolute legend of the radio scene. R.I.P Steve.
I'm glad to find someone my sort of age, im 18 in March, and he was so key throughout my years, I remember being in the back of the car going to places like Whitby and this legend would be on, loved him, will always love and now miss him
If the BBC played every single show Steve did on a special channel...it would get millions listening.
I know I’ve been looking for them to download on BBC sounds
I downloaded loads. I got episodes where stuff is repeated. But I listen to it just in case the previous was edited short.
God love him.
I used to be sad hearing his outro before the BBC moved him on, beyond devastated I won’t hear Wright’s comforting voice ever again, feel like I’ve lost a friend
ln 2019 my wife died suddenly I'm a lorry and steve was my saviour ask Elvis had me roaring with laughter RIP mr Angry
Wow this really made me emotional 😭😭 I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that we’re never going to hear Steve’s voice ever again I am heartbroken it’s not fair it wasn’t his time to go
He was the best ever DJ Britain has ever seen. He changed radio. No one had ever used the zoo format in this country before until he did. He also mentored djs like Chris Moyles. Terry Wogan was good but Steve Wright was the best ever
Grew up listening to Steve with my Dad and then me listening everyday in my lorry. And now hes gone its hit me like one of my family passing RIP Steve you are going to be missed by everyone 😢
I grew up to Steve wright in the afternoon.
Nothing will ever replace it. 😭
Steve was not just a DJ but he was for most of us radio audience a massive part of our normal daily routine so for me he was a way of my life so sad when Steve wright in the afternoon finished great to still hear him on sunday love songs and most recently on pick of the pops replacing Gambo was a big ask but he just fitted in like a glove which is no surprise as he was the Master of radio Entertainment !!Rest in Peace in Music Heaven Steve🙏🙏🎵🎧🎧💔XX
I’m 24 I never really understood the serious jock ing but being a radio 2 listener I listened to him every day and like Ken Bruce his voice was a comfort to me and was sad when he was replaced as I grew up and radio 2 was always there Steve was always there the new ones that have replaced Ken and Steve don’t have what they had and never will I can honestly hold my hands up and say Steve I really miss you ❤️ every day things are advancing and changing so fast around us but I don’t feel like anything is actually being improved radio 2’s reshuffle is a prime example
Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo can be found doing their original shows on Greatest Hits Radio. Pop Master, confessions, etc. Just a pity there'll never be a Steve Wright in the Afternoon show to join them on there.
@@richardatkinson7854thank you I didn’t know that I knew about Ken Bruce but I didn’t realise Simon was there too might be worth getting into greatest hits radio as the BBC has defiantly had it
I'm 58...well said young man
@@cyrilrogan4069 Thank you 😊
For me the great Steve Wright (and possy) and ‘The Big Show’ will be remembered forever. You don’t always realise what you have until it’s too late, and I like many others will treasure many fond memories spanning decades.
No word's can describe how i feel.x
This is just shocking… I was listening to him like so many on Sunday…. So unexpected. 6:24 this is my favourite he could time this to the second to make sure the final BBC pip was on queue to the end of this sequence to make sure the news went out at 5pm. (And the pips don’t wait and are not connected to the studio at all they go out over what ever is being played regardless) Total Legend… RIP
Agreed, this is the one I came to find! It’s weird how a specific little jingle sticks in your head
@@dasmidstavery true…. He was one of the best…
Radio 1 afternoons with the Posse , those were the days……what a talent we’ve lost….RIP Wrighty😞
We're all cryin....no G....RIP Mr Radio❤.
Steve was much more than a DJ he was everyones secret best mate,an inspiration and a brilliant subtle teacher who you would listen to,he tought many humility and a sense of humour...Take a load off Annie Wrighty RIP
I really loved Steve Wright! In the early intervention in psychosis community mental health team, Friday was not Friday without DJ Sillyboy and the big show!
On pick of the pops wrighty spoke so highly of others. He was making the show his own
He said when in a room with Paul McCartney he say ‘hello Paul’ and Paul would say, ‘hello Steve’.
We’ve lost a broadcasting legend and just a really good guy! Steve will be so missed
Thanks for all the music and laughs!
I so wish I had listened to his programmes a lot more often. There will never be another like him. Being 69 myself it's also a stark reminder how suddenly you can be taken from this life. RIP Steve and thanks for some wonderful memories.
6.24 not cryin. ( no G )
Thankyou for getting us through life.
That was an enjoyable an emotional listen…I still can’t quite comprehend he’s no longer with us 😢
RIP Steve, what a wonderful broadcaster, sending his family and friends deepest sympathies
The best and most fun DJ this country has produced RIP Steve you will be sadly missed.
No, respectfully disagree with you on that - the funniest and most creative DJ this country has ever produced was, The Late Great, "Kenny Everett" an absolute master of his craft!!
For me personally the Steve Wright show was never the same after he left radio One rather than be sacked by the arse h**e that was, and still is Matthew Bannister that prick who was responsible for clearing out all of the radio One DJs that millions of people listened to during the 70s and 80s the likes of DLT, Simon Bates, Adrian just, Bruno Brooks, Alan "fluff" Freeman, to name but a few.
When Steve Wright left Radio 1 he went to talk radio and a few commercial stations for a while before resurfacing at BBC Radio 2 but I always felt that his show on R2 was a watered down version of what he had previously done on Radio 1. All the good characters had gone there were no afternoon boys and girls the "posse" and lots of filler. He was undoubtedly an extremely accomplished broadcaster with a considerable longevity but definitely not the greatest broadcaster/ DJ this country has ever produced.
Missed the afternoon show week days when the BBC Radio 2 booted him out stopped listening in the afternoon now. Sadly won't be able to listen to him anymore. God bless we will all miss you.
Absolutely stunned Steve was the best can not believe he's gone, rest in peace Steve.
This actually makes my heart hurt !! 😢😢❤
Still mourning this guy some what. Some of these older jingles were the sound track to my childhood. A broadcasting legend I don’t our generations will forget.
I still remember when they used to end with a clip from Wichita Lineman. Always made me sad that the fun afternoon was over.
I’m actually in tears listening to this
Listened to him most of my life
Never realised just how comforting and reassuring his voice and his jingles were
Going to miss him
Thanks Steve RIP
hearing this just takes me back to the 80s steve made my life so much happier. rip the greatest dj that ever lived .
Steve Wright, the best radio presenter this country has ever known. Shame on the BBC for cutting his afternoon broadcast - the biggest broadcast in UK, ever...!
These jingles are the background music of my childhood car journeys. So sad to hear about Steve’s passing.
It will never be the same, thank you Steve
Listening to his shows made everything feel ok when it wasnt - a lovely escape from the wicked world a few hours of Steve and his characters - it was fantastic !
Iconic jingles! Thanks for putting these together, Steve had the best jingles for sure. Radio gold. RIP old friend 🧡
The site lads of the 80s and 90s will look back and remember the absolute best of times, when we got giddy knowing Steve Wright was seing out a miserable shift on a miserable site in miserable weather and you looked forward to the theme tune and the pips..
Since the BBC dumped the R4 theme and also Lillibulero (criminal), some of these (though not all) are the most recognisably British radio jingles/music that remain. Steve Wright perhaps far more culturally significant than most realise.
God ! I so miss Steve Wright in the .............whole of my day...... never to be replaced.😢❤
There are times when you just appreciate being in the company of a gifted genius. Rest in peace my radio friend x
I'm so Glad the SLS jingles are in there, Brings back so many great memories of my nans on Sunday, she passed in 2018 and haven't heard them since, so it's a nice throwback, thank you for doing this whoever you are!
Thank you for this; it's brought tears to my eyes.
Great memories of Steve on radio1 and 2 the characters he had . Serious jockin no G Fridays at 4.17 .
Steve was a genius. A master of his craft. Who on earth will do the spontaneous sing-along's on songs now?! We always were lovin' the show! The 4pm jingle was always one I looked forward to every show. Radio died yesterday in a large way. RIP Wrighty.
Nearly two weeks on since we lost this wonderful man and I still shed tears daily. 40+ years of hearing that friendly warm voice and signature theme. That end theme is hauntingly powerful💔. Time to switch off Radio 2, the King of radio has left the building…
From the 80s till now. I Spent my whole working life listening to this man, he kept me sain as a lorry driver. A complete broadcasting legend. The upmost respect from me and ( I think I speak for most truckers of my generation) all of us. RIP Steve you will be missed.
*Superb*
Being a daytime radio DJ is a strange skill, to just chatter away about everything and nothing... and Steve Wright was the best at it. Nothing on his shows ever felt forced, he was just a natural
Thank you, Steve.
Good Evening.
Incredibly sad news. Grew up listening to Steve on Radio 1 and more recent years on Radio 2.
Actually got a bit emotional when i heard the news.
Very good compilation 👍
This is really nicely put together, well done 👏
Hearing these tunes brings the past present future of radio jingles of the quality of technology through the years at it's best with the unique man the one and only Steve Wright.Cheers to a pint lad.
Can only say I'm Gutted, RIP Wrighty
I’ve listened to Steve since he was on Radio 1, back in the early days & all the memories are flooding back. Who remembers…Gervaise the Hairdresser, Damion the Social Worker, The Thug, The Professor, Dave Doubledecks - The cliché DJ, Mick Jagger, The Newsagent - who had flatulence - when he did the breakfast show, on Radio 1 & - of course - Sid The Manager & Mr. Angry, plus the brilliant “Serious Jockin’ - No ‘G’, every Friday, from 4:15. He was a pure entertainer & had me in stitches, many times. I was also lucky enough to see him do an appearance at a local nightclub, many years ago. It was a horrendous night, snowing & freezing cold & loads of people had turned up, to see him. The DJ’s in the nightclub were psyching the crowd up & pretending to be on the phone, to Sid. They were saying - “It’s not Sheffield you’re coming to, it’s Doncaster. When he eventually turned up, the decorative railings around the stage crumbled like chalk, as the crowd surged forward, much to the despair, of the security guards. It was an amazing night, though & one I’ll never forget. Rest In Peace, Steve. You were a true legend & we’ll all miss you !!! 😭📻 🎙️🎧💿💽📀
I listened to him practically every day, right from his Radio 1 days and all the great characters and catchphrases. Mr Angry from Purley, Gervaise the hairdresser. Fillet of Fish, get the geese off. I remember the geese doing jingle bells one Xmas 😂 RIP you absolute legend 😢 x
His afternoon show was an institution. He is a legend and will always be remembered.
Radio Legend Steve Wright RIP a big loss to British radio. 😔
Absolutely wonderful, brilliant,entertainer,so brilliant he was always with you,your own lives,of moods, bad times, good times,that distraction in the background" honestly yesterday was a bit ehh iffy day, as I'm now a disabled pensioner,and physically,mentally in a sense gettin older, getting on with things, and yesterday 5pm Sara Cox,Bobby prior show,broke me hey me,,it meant so much to me,me a listener,when i was carer (old mum) etc Steve wright was always there in background,my house etc,part of the wallpaper, and even now tears still flow at his unexpected passing, he didn't know me, nor I knew him,,but he was part of our generation lives,its hard to explain,, but when someone's so good,you fully notice" when that person left the party, just like Tony Blackburn, Johnny Walker,Ken Bruce etc but I feel Steve Wright had that,extra sparkle,, God bless and RIP Steve Wright, love peace and goodwill,to you and your family, friends, and Fans, RIP Steve Wright.🙋
Tony Blackburn, Johnny Walker and Ken Bruce are all very much still alive they haven't left the party.
@@bbc8891 ha I know they still around,I listen to them and others including new ?, but James.i personally feel it maybe morbid,but just life in it self, as you reach a certain age' people who you felt warm and comfortable with "leaving the party of our life's .and I think people who you knew were leaving at certain time , someone unexpectedly as to leave , and that person ,left a big gap of colder air, but left a warmth of lifes memories .
This jingle without his voice is soooo sad.RIP Steve xx
Thank you Steve for everything 😢
Even though it wouldn’t be the same without Steve Wright, Sunday Love Songs is thankfully still around.
I don’t think it will be around for much longer as it’s Steve’s own show that he made himself
The opening and closing music were great and the 4pm build up music was epic
Even though I am forced to pay for a licence - I stopped listening once he was pushed out.
Best ever. RIP
RIP Steve. These jingles were epic, they made us feel like we were part of something big - Great Britain! I overdosed on Steve in the early 2000’s but got back into him in the early 2020’s. His serious Jockin on Friday afternoons was epic too and his shaat aaats were always a big part of his show and made you feel as though you were part of something special. Well done Steve you'll always be missed and remembered fondly.
Rest in peace sir thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey ❤
@raveonradio lovely compilation. Thankyou
I’m so saddened to here of Steve’s passing all my working life from Radio 1 to Radio 2 Steve got me through some crap days at work, with the best radio slot ever on a afternoon, from Arnie and the terminators, the old woman, ask Elvis the list goes on, what an absolute legend and gentleman of a man sadly missed thinking of you and all your family at this terrible time, PS Radio 2 I haven’t listened to it since you sacked off the best, Greatest Hits where the rest of the best has gone, shame on you Radio 2
Truly heartbroken a true angle has passed and hugely missed .... RIP Steve.
The legend in radio is gone you will be sadly missed hope the angels are treating you well god bless and good night 😊😊😊
His jingles were always uplifting... 3:25 brings me right back to being a kid in the back of the family car in the 00s
Saddening listening to these jingles 😢r.i.p Steve ✌🏻
What an absolute radio legend .. the man was just a professional on the air waves ..they just won't be the same again my thoughts are with is family and all his work colleagues. Who have described him with such sympathy good bye you legend 😪😪😪❣️❣️
R I p Steve.😢
Serious cryin no g 😢
What a good man xx
I've been searching for a BBC Radio 2 promo for Steve's afternoon show that I think was called "Steve sings all the hits". I only ever heard it once, and I was wondering if anyone has a copy of it. It basically featured snippets of Steve singing over a number of songs, as he used to do, and was very tongue in cheek, but so funny.
Sadly missed Steve! Legend!
I'm here because I miss Steve Wright. 😭
Yes, the true legend, indeed thank you for everything. 1:52
The jingles to his show is going to hit different now for sure. 😥😪
Pure legend.
It will never be the same again 😢
