Personal Quote:
[about his famous appearance on Whistle Test (1971)] The BBC had a bar. What a great country! Over here, there's never a bar in a TV station. Before we went on air, I'd told Bob [Bob Harris] that he had chipmunk teeth. He said you had to blame his parents for that. I replied, "Everyone is responsible for their own face." He was probably still thinking about that when he called us "mock rock". See more »Trademark:
