Radio City Liverpool Vintage Jingles

[@maxinesobers2606]

I remember arriving in Liverpool, from London, starting a fine art course at Liverpool Polytech Hope Street. Sitting on my hostel bed, in Mild May house, just age 19, wondering where the hell I was, already homesick, turned on my radio, and heard Linda Lewis cooing 'City eee', that was back in September 1976. Years later in 2004, I met Linda Lewis and her sister Dee Lewis at Cromwell House Barking. I reminisced about her lovely voice and the radio city jingle. ..and Linda smiled and laughed in such a cute way, saying, ' My goodness, that was a long time ago'. She was a lovely lady, so was her sister Dee, and their mum. I'll never forget. May God 🙏🌈 Bless you Linda Lewis, and bless your lovely family too.🌹🦋💕🇬🇧

Count your blessing. I'd have loved to have met the single greatest and most enduring crush of my life, since first seeing and hearing Linda perform Rock-a-Doodle-Doo on TOTPs as a teenager, back in the early 70's. I left home aged around 19 and carried her poster with me from bedsit to bedsit for years, where I hung it on the wall of each. Only "losing" it along the way, after I got married (probably went the same way as all my favourite jumpers which "mysteriously" disappeared in similar fashion, over the years). Great story, thank you for sharing it.

DAMN!!! I was so hoping to find the Linda Lewis stuff to help ease my aching heart. Then I saw your note... After I'd listened intently through the playlist. Well done, though.

Linda Lewis recorded jingles for Radio City (Liverpool) in the 1970s. It went "Another City Day you know, 194 Radio, 194 radio. Radio City started on 21 October 1974 and the late Linda Lewis's voice I will always recall from the early days. The 194 referred to the wavelength in metres which soon became 1548 KHz. Barbara Dickson recorded a jingle based on her 1976 hit Answer Me. Madeline Bell recorded the 1-9-4 Radio Cit-ty jingle used on the hour for news bulletins. I no longer listen to commercial radio as it is inanea! But the haunting voice of the late Linda Lewis will always be a memory. RIP.

I didn't think anyone's death would hurt me as much as Bowie's did. Last month, I learned different. Don't think I'll ever get over Linda's passing. As for "Answer Me (My Love)", isn't that the song Nat King Cole stole and which Paul McCartney had originally recorded under the title "Yesterday"? Nat barely even changed half the words but claimed the song came to him in a dream and he woke up with it mysteriously fully composed, in his head. Or am I getting confused, in my old age? LOL

1:46 1976: A Radio City Odyssey I’m joking, just because this jingle is based off Also Sprach Zarathustra (The theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey)
