I’m surprised soul expert #TonyBlackburn didn’t spot the obvious error in a listener’s ‘joke’ he read out about “Motown weather” on today’s #SoundsOfThe60s.
The ‘punchline’ referred to The Three Degrees, who weren’t actually Motown artists - they recorded on the Philadelphia label.
Born 29 Jan 1943, Tony Blackburn, DJ on Radio Caroline and the first DJ on BBC Radio 1 (the 1st song played was 'Flowers In The Rain by The Move). Blackburn was crowned 'King of the Jungle' in 2003 after winning the 2nd series of UK TV show 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'. #TonyBlackburn

It's #saturdaymorning and the great #tonyblackburn was playing his sounds of the 60s show on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social #BBCSounds great show sadly no #fourtops
Peaking at No. 5 in the UK, thanks to airplay from Radio 1's ever-popular #TonyBlackburn and Noel Edmonds, this original Captain material was released in 1977. Absurd as it may seem now, Rapper's Delight was probably seen as just as much a one-off novelty in winter 1980 as this delayed sleeper hit.
Summer (The First Time) by Bobby Goldsboro is a song that's been giving me the boak for half a century now. 🤢

Tony Blackburn noemt het besluit van Ofcom om de uitbreiding van BBC Radio 2 te blokkeren “volkomen misplaatst”. Hij ziet de kans gemist voor oudere luisteraars. Niet iedereen deelt die mening.

![Picture: Graeme prepares a gun. Tim takes it from him then strides off. Bill and Graeme wait, fingers in ears.
Dialogue from the episode:
Graeme: The vet can’t help, not anymore. He’s fading fast.
Bill: Don’t worry. He was a bit past it really, wasn’t he?
Tim: Tony? Past it?
Bill: Yeah, yeah. He’s getting on a bit, you know. I mean, you count his teeth: to be honest, he’s got hundreds.
Graeme: True, but Tim’s right. We can’t let him slip away. [prepares gun]
Tim: No!
Graeme: It’s kinder in the long run.
Tim: It may be kinder, but he trusts me. He knows me... I must be the one to do it....
Tim: I couldn’t! I couldn’t do it. Those big brown eyes looking up at me. I swear he could understand every word I said! I couldn’t— I just couldn’t do it.
Bill: Yeah. You know, Tim, I understand... Can I have a go?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:csorpff3bpg5zext2hsav44q/bafkreidldihzfxj3x7zg7tdikajzmythhmfiwrgj5iab63df62zfmsr4ty)

When their star exhibit (Tony Blackburn!) sickens, the lads react with their customary care and empathy... #Goodies50 #TonyBlackburn
😳😬😱
The panel of the pilot episode of the X-Factor don't look too impressed.
Respect, #TonyBlackburn ✊🥵
We must be dreaming. Tony Blackburn played our single again tonight on BBC Radio 2…just after ‘Good Times’ by Chic. Talk about surreal!
Tony, if you’re reading this: thank you so much. You’ve really made our day (again!).

Happy Birthday to National treasure Tony Blackburn! He’s an ace DJ, but also a pop artist in his own right. Heres his 1969 recording, released on Polydor. I wonder, was it his Morgan? We’d love to interview him about his cars! #tonyblackburn #morganmotorcompany #rockstarscars

Listening to #Radio2 #SoundsOfThe60s on catch-up and #TonyBlackburn reveals the best-selling single of 1965: got to be #TheBeatles, right? No. Tears by #KenDodd.

Just saw #TonyBlackburn was in #VenueCymru September 2025. I asked Helen if she was interested and she said “not really”. I said I thought she liked him, she replied “yeah, on the radio. I don’t want have to look at him!”
I replied “you could always wear a blindfold” but she was adamant it’s a NO 😕👎
It's #saturdaymorning #6am and #tonyblackburn is on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social with #soundsofthe60s are you listening @profpop.bsky.social @cliveclemens.bsky.social
@northernmailman.bsky.social just started listening last year to #radcliffeandmaconie on #saturday but this after listening to my usual #tonyblackburn #soundsofthe60s beforehand which I have done for years.👍
The more I read about #tonyblackburn sacking, the shadier it seems. Lost 'evidence' of meeting he denied miraculously appears in press...
#TonyBlackburn talks about his memories of the #Top40 chart show.
Staying relevant #Newsnight?
