Kenny Everett
Kenny Everett (born Maurice James Christopher Cole in Liverpool on 25 December 1944), or 'Cuddly Ken', as he liked to be known, revolutionised pop radio in the 1960s and 1970s with his mastery of the technical side of the medium, absurdist humour and an irreverent presentational style which saw him dismissed on a number of occasions. While radio always remained his favoured medium, he successfully transferred his manic humour to television in the late 1970s
He was first heard on the airwaves when he joined pirate station Radio London in 1964, where he remained (apart from a brief period at Radio Luxembourg following the first of his dismissals) until 1967, when he joined the BBC's new pop station, Radio 1.
Through his creative use of sound effects (something in which he led the way as a radio disc jockey) and mischievous humour, he quickly accumulated a loyal following, leading to his first television work as co-host of the comic sketch series Nice Time (ITV, 1968-69).
Diagnosed as HIV positive in 1989, Everett died from an Aids-related illness on 4 April 1995. The previous year he had been awarded the Sony Radio Gold Award for his achievements in radio. Lorem
