RIP Doddy.

RIP Sir Ken - a true legend....
I remember him with the Diddy Men on children’s tv and finding it all a bit odd. About 7 or 8 years ago I had to buy tickets to see my son’s youth orchestra at Dudley town hall and they posted me out tickets to see Doddy the night before by mistake; I did sort it out but that was the closest I got to seeing him.
5 hour comedy shows and utter love of what he was doing, something to be admired. RIP.
RIP Doddy
Total consummate gentleman. Bought a round, told some funnies, But was genuinely interested in who we were and what we did. Chatted for at least 20 mins.
After he supped up he shot off to do his usual 5 hour marathon show. He was one of the greats - genuine, polite, funny, professional, hard working and most of all just a bloody nice bloke.
I saw him on some sort of tv special and to my great surprise found him hilarious. I realised that in many respects he was more 'alternative' than any of them.
RIP Ken.
Interesting facts on the news:
he sold 100 million records (!)
he had a 42 week residency at the London Palladium in 1965! That is quite incredible.
