A fully revised and updated edition of the autobiography of broadcasting legend Bob Harris.

He continues to be a household name today and his velvety voice can be heard on Radio 2's The Bob Harris Show and Bob Harris Country. * In this fully revised and updated autobiography, Bob tells his story of over 40 years of broadcasting, from the young, passionate music fan who moved to London determined to make music his life, to being presented with an OBE for his services to music broadcasting. * Much like his musical heroes, Bob's personal life also had a somewhat rock 'n' roll vibe: he has been married three times, gone bankrupt, fought cancer, weathered a very public spat with a fellow DJ and has had to revamp his career four times. * Bob reveals all about working with the big names of rock, including the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie Featuring a 16-page full-colour plate section and foreword by Robert Plant, Still Whispering After All These Years is a frank, vibrant and inspiring tale of one of the most influential names on the radio and reveals the story of the man behind the voice.

This is a story that hooks you from the start, told with the warmth and honesty that we have come to expect from Harris' programmesIt's a journey you are glad to have been a part of, if only as a listener or reader: extremely open, detailed and informative. -- Jim Stewart * Beat Magazine *
