David Jacobs

David Jacobs, a very long time veteran of British broadcasting, died today at the age of 87. His first broadcast was in 1945, his last just a few weeks ago.

He frequently included items by Bing in his programmes and the BBC News at Ten included a round up of the highlights of his career, which had a few seconds of Bing singing in the background at the end.

"Incurably Romantic", in case you are wondering, but rather buried in the voice over.

Re: David Jacobs

Was able to watch and hear here in the Pacific Northwest but really could hear what Bing was singing.

Re: David Jacobs

That should have read "could NOT hear".

Re: David Jacobs

David’s last show was broadcast on August 4 and he featured Bing singing “Incurably Romantic” as his final song. He introduced this by saying that we might have noticed that he had not played a solo by Frank Sinatra during the programme and that there was a reason for this. There were, he said, two camps, one favours Frank Sinatra, the other Bing Crosby. He went on to say that he would end by playing his favourite – Bing Crosby. That was the last record David played in a career going back over 60 years!
