LES KNOTT ON ZERO RADIO 04-JUNE-2026

**Les Knott** (0:09)
Right, I am finally here. Yes, I'm very, very sorry. I wasn't there right at the beginning, but all of a sudden, the internet went completely down. Right, now I'm here, I've dusted all the knobs, so we're all about ready to start going again now, yes. Thanks for sticking with me, but things happen like that. It's live radio. Okay then. Jazz, funk and soul with Les Knotts. The perfect way to finish your Thursday evening.
Right, I want to play this one because... Well, since Sunday, it's been nothing but rain here at the moment, yes. And they keep telling us, don't they, it's going to be absolutely wonderful in a couple of weeks' time, all through the summer. Well, let's just hope that's right, yes, because we don't like rain. Well, we like a bit of rain, but not the way it's coming down. Blimey.
Oh, man, I love the sound of Linda Clifford. It's an old classic, well, well, yeah, well, good. Runaway Love. Right, let's go through some names, yeah, we're a little bit late tonight, because of the internet going down, but we're all there at the moment, aren't we? So where should we start? I've got to say, I've got a good evening to the lovely. Theresa Caffin, hello, my darling, how you doing? Over there in Dublin, Fiona Byrne, hello, my darling, yes. She's always on the side though, because she's always doing something, she's a busy girl. The lovely Julie Bennet is in here. Hello, my darling. Over there in Stevenage, Paul Nelson. Hello, mate. Steve Voller and the Heathrow Boys, they're all in as well. Hello, you lot. Sandra Johnson. Hello, my darling. Mr. Barry Thomas over there in Steven Lynch. Hello, Barry, mate.

Oh, that's really wonderful, sure, and I do like that one. It's one of my first Melbourne Mall tracks overbought. And then I had to go back and find some of our old stuff as well. There you go, Melbourne Mall, you stepped into my life.
There we go, absolutely wonderful sound. Yes, Rickie likes that one. Sound of Donald Byrd, and it's called Loving You. Right, we've lost a couple of absolute major artists this week, one of them which I've been following ever since, well, ever since I can remember. And my favorite track by him is to get with Terry Wells. And here it is, Peabo Bryson, no, Dexter Wansel. I'll get it right.
Well, there we go, one of the greatest musicians we lost this week. Sound of Dexter Wansel together with Terry Wells, and there we go with Sweetest Pain. Right, the other person that we lost this week, what a voice, what a voice. Yes, the sound of Peabo Bryson. Here he is with Kenny G, and he's called By The Time This Night Is Over.
Oh, there we go. Another person we lost this week, the son of Peabo Bryson. The voice, what a voice. There he is, together with Kenny G. And it's by the time this night is over. Well, we seem to be losing lots the last couple of years, don't we? Anyway, what we're going to do now, we're going to go back. Back to back classic tunes from a classic artist on Zero Radio.
Well, there we go. Do you know who it is yet? There we go. Keep it coming, and the next one, you will definitely know who it is, yes, definitely. Back to back classic tunes from a classic artist on Xero Radio.
Oh, there we go, the second one. And back to our classic, by classic artists. Yes, it's definitely the Jones girls, isn't it? There we go, keep it coming. And Nights Over Egypt. What a quality tune this is, isn't it? I gotta say hi to Mr. John McCance. Yes, it's now, what was it? From Stephen, he's now living in Spain. Yes, hello. How are you doing, John? Oh, it's raining again.
