Maurice James Christopher Cole (25 December 1944 – 4 April 1995), known professionally as Kenny Everett, was a British comedian, radio DJ and television entertainer. Everett is best known for his career as a radio DJ and for The Kenny Everett Video Show.
Personal life
Early life and education
Everett was born in Seaforth, Liverpool, Lancashire into a Catholic family as Maurice James Christopher Cole. Everett attended the local secondary modern school, St Bede's Secondary Modern School in Crosby, now part of Sacred Heart Catholic College. He attended a junior seminary at Stillington, North Yorkshire near York with an Italian missionary order, the Verona Fathers, where he was a choirboy. After he left school, he worked in a bakery and in the Advertising Department of The Journal of Commerce and Shipping Telegraph.
While working at a pirate radio station Radio London he was advised to change his name to avoid legal problems. He adopted the name "Everett" from American film comic actor Edward Everett Horton, a childhood hero.
"Son of My Father" is a song popularised in 1972 by Chicory Tip.
The song was originally published in German as "Nachts Scheint Die Sonne" (In the Night Shines the Sun), written by Giorgio Moroder with German lyrics by Michael Holm in 1971, and English lyrics by Pete Bellotte. The German version "Nachts Scheint Die Sonne" by Michael Holm was released in 1971, while Giorgio also released the English version "Son of My Father" under the moniker Giorgio. However, Moroder's version failed to chart in the UK. The song was released by Chicory Tip in 1972 and this version reached No. 1 on the UK single chart in February 1972.
Since its release, the tune of the chorus of "Son of My Father" has been regularly used on the terraces of British football grounds for football chants.
Chicory Tip's version
A copy of Giorgio's version found its way to studio manager Roger Easterby who persuaded the British band Chicory Tip to record it in English. The song, produced by Easterby and Des Champ, was recorded on Christmas Eve 1971 in the studio of George Martin. The song is notable as the first UK number one single to prominently feature a synthesizer, in this case a Moog synthesizer, programmed by Chris Thomas. The B side of the single is "Pride Comes Before A Fall". The song reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in February 1972.
The band released the song in the US under the shortened name Chicory, but it only reached No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Son of My Father is a 1972 album composed, produced and performed by Giorgio Moroder. The tracks "Tears", "Underdog", and "Son Of My father" appeared in the 1972 film Die Klosterschülerinnen, which Moroder also composed the score to.
Shirocco later reworked a version of "Tears" with vocals and released it as "Es War Nur Ein Traum".
A few of the best bits I captured from Kenny's TV shows. I compiled this collection of Kenny sketches back in the early 80s for a video party I was having.
I created a 3 hour vhs tape of my favourite and popular songs at the time from TOTP, OGWT and various other music performances to play at the party instead of vinyl. To make it more interesting I edited in a Kenny segment from his tv shows I had recorded in between several of the songs. For example the Cliff bits were spread over the 3 hours. My selection was based on his Sid character. Of course his other characters are hilarious too but I just wanted Sid for the party. The party was a great success. When clearing out old vhs tapes during lockdown I found the tape and decided to bring all the Kenny bits I used together in one piece a...

Kenny Everett as "Cupid Stunt" on "Parkinson" '82 (pt.1/7) HQ
This is part ONE of what was a magical night for me (for PART TWO, hit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ja-HRyGWY). It was the 6th of March, 1982 and unannounced, TWO of my FIVE ALL-TIME HEROES appeared on Parky - Buddy Rich and Kenny Everett (they'd never have met any OTHER way!)
Also there, were Roy Castle and a surprise guest. This was a SHOW. Almost a full hour. No sidekick. No desk. And all of the guests STAYED after their initial interviews. Buddy did THREE numbers and then... well, you'll have to watch it to see!
You need to see ALL SEVEN pieces, IN ORDER. Now, put your computer onto FULLSCREEN and enjoy!

Sinéad O’Connor interrupts an interview with British comedian Kenny Everett to ask him about his support for the Conservative Party.
She is curious to find out whether he finds Clause 28 introduced by the Conservatives in 1987 offensive. When passed into law, Clause 28 became Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988. It bans British local authorities and schools from ‘promoting homosexuality’. In her opinion it is,
A disgraceful abuse of people who, you know, are of your sexual persuasion.

Kenny Everett admits he is an à la carte Conservative. He approves of how party leader Margaret Thatcher dealt with the UK President of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) Arthur Scargill.
There are other things about them that I don’t like.
Kenny Everett describes Clause 28 as a curtailment of freedom. He disagrees that people in the public eye have a duty to stand up for their beliefs. Rather than taking to the streets and making demands, his way of standing up for gay rights is by being an amusing and entertaining person who just happens to be gay. This way people,
See that you are not a thing with horns and you’re not inhumane and you can be amusing, or you can sing good, and they think hey, these people are humans after all.
Kenny Everett appeared at the Conservative Party Conference in the guise of his mock-evangelical character Brother Lee Love with his trademark giant hands, purely because the Tories asked him first. This does not mean he believes in everything they stand for.
