Talk:Jimmy Young (broadcaster)

message: Does anyone have any idea what Jimmy Young is doing now, not seen any mention of him in the media for some time.  --jmb 18:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 2006

message: The Discography heading would be better if it were amended to "Select Discography" since it lists only the Top 50 hits of Jimmy Young. A CD entitled "The Best of Jimmy Young" features many other numbers, including Ebb Tide, I'm Walking Behind You, Little Things Mean a Lot, Give me Your Word, etc. etc. In fact, a complete Discography would be preferable to the abridged one, if someone can collate such a thing!

message: No mention of one of the most notable features of his radio show - the daily recipe. Nor of Raymondo (speeded-up voice of Production Assistant Ray Harvey) who would prompt the feature with the question "what's the recipe today, Jim?". Surely reliable sources are available for this?

replies: text: Well, at least without mention of Harvey. So could be added. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:46, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Do we really need links for: records, sheet music, cover or recording? Or for label right next to Polygon Records? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: "Need"? No. "Helpful for some readers"? Yes. ... richi (hello) 22:18, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: To me these are all widely-known, well-known terms in widespread use and to employ them here suggests that "some readers" are idiots. But I'd welcome other views. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure it's about being idiotic, so much as being aged, say, 15. What is this "label" of which you speak, Grandad? ... richi (hello) 01:01, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: If you follow the link to Polygon Records you might find out. It's the name for companies that release music CDs and videos. Apparently. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:32, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'm totally open to discussion on this crisp, sunny, winter's morning. And yeah, I get that; I completely understand where you're coming from. But I spend a lot of my time on WP worrying about the auds' experience, just as I do professionally (it's an occupational hazard, I guess). Here's another way of thinking about it: Would it hurt to leave in the links? Do the blue lines, on balance, help or hinder the reader? I think it's at worst neutral, and quite possibly helpful. On the other hand, there's WP:LEADLINK to consider, which makes me wonder if there's a better way to make us both happy (let me mull on that) ... richi (hello) 09:43, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Many of Young's early records were 78s: . It appears from this list that his first hit, in 1951, "Too Young" was in fact a B-side. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:28, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
