Simon Bates covering 1979 right now on his penultimate Smooth Golden Hour....
I notice the Smooth Radio Golden hours only ever play the slushy, dancey, souley songs and none of the decent hits! >:(. Don't know if that's Simon Bates or Smooth radio in general!

I think the clue is in the station name, would love to hear Simon do a Golden Hour on Radio 2.

That's the station's usual output. They tend to go for the soulful end of things. If I remember rightly, Smooth Radio grew out of Jazz.FM a few years ago.
That is why I tend to listen to Magic 1152 - when they do the Golden Years or top 20 countdown - they do a mixture of everything. A bit like Jimmy Savile used to do on Radio 1!

Turning Japanese by The Vapors. How many people who sung along with it in 1980 knew what it was about?
Heh, yeah. Dozy wan...
Ha yes, of course, sorry Jimmy ;-)
Apparently, it wasn't about what we all thought it was about.
Their singer talked about it in an interview.
I read about it in Flexipop magazine at the age of 13, any sex reference was apt at the time

When was his first TOTP appearance?
Near the end of 1979.
