    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    Was a popular face on TV when I was younger. Always seemed to be genuinely nice.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I remember him on the Comedians, one of the ground breaking black comics of the 20th century. RIP

    Same here, a guy that seemed to be the tele a lot when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s. A bit of an all round showman, sang a little, danced a little and told some jokes.

    RIP Kenny

    I had the pleasure of actually meeting him when my wife accidentally stood on his foot at the opening of Epping Forest Country Club nightclub in the early 90's.
    He was a real down to earth gent and easy to talk to.
    DLT was the opening 'compere' that night.

    Lived local to me in Chelsea always used to see him about, usually with Harry Folwer sitting in the Bow tie cafe Chelsea manor street. Always time for chat and used to regularly tip his paper boys, a genuinely nice fella.

    I know Steve Marriot felt that Kenny upstaged him on the vocals, but had no idea that Kenny actually wrote the song as well.

    There was something about this on the radio this week, I was only half listening, but it went along the lines that Kenny Lynch co-wrote Sha La La La Le with Mort Shuman who didn't want his name on the credits because he thought it was rubbish.

    Me too and it’s a classic that I watched for the umpteenth time a couple of weeks ago. Kenny does a very entertaining performance in the Roy Castle segment of the film.
    RIP to a great all rounder

    Cheers
    Neil

    I watch it over and over too. The Amicus movies and the Hammer ones I watched Vault of horror the other day … Terry Thomas is brilliant. Agree with you on Kenny's performance.
