Anyone else have fond memories of the blues/rhythm & blues programmes presented on BBC Radio 1 by Mike Raven and Alexis Korner in the late '60s and late '70s respectively?

I particularly liked Mike Raven's show which, I believe, eventually got a two-hour slot. I remember vividly the shows where he had Fred McDowell playing "live" in the studio.

Shall we hear their like - Raven and Korner - on the BBC again, I wonder. I also have good memories of Charlie Gillett's radio show on Capitol Radio.

All these people played good music and gave intelligent, informative and enthusiastic commentaries on the music they played. Mike R also starred in some pretty dire horror films, but I can forgive him that!
