Still whispering after all these years: my autobiography (Revised and updated edition)

Bob Harris recounts a lifetime in the music business, from a passionate fan moving to London to make music his life, to becoming a recipient of the Americana Trailblazer Award and an OBE for services to music broadcasting

Bob Harris first became known as the face of the 1970s live music TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test and his infectious enthusiasm for music and ability to discover new talent has seen him become a treasure to music lovers. His velvety voice can be heard in the UK on Radio 2's The Bob Harris Show and Bob Harris Country. Here, Bob tells his story of more 40 years of broadcasting with the BBC. Much like his musical heroes, Bob's personal life has had somewhat of a rock 'n' roll vibe: he has been married three times, gone bankrupt, fought cancer, weathered a very public spat with a fellow DJ, and had to revamp his career four times. Throughout all these times, however, his love of music and talent for broadcasting has endured. This frank, vibrant, and inspiring tale reveals the story of the man behind the voice.
