Your letter was only the start of it,
One letter and now you're a part of it,
Now you've done it, Jim has fixed for it you, and you and you.
There must be something that you always want to do,

Now you've done it, Jim has fixed it for you, and you and you and you
Bah-bah-bah

Bio
---
Born in Leeds, Jimmy Saville was the eldest of 7 children. His first job at 14 was a coalface worker, then a scrap metal seller. He used to all-in wrestle two nights a week. His first taste of the 'pop' industry was as an assistant manager for Leeds Locarno (Mecca Club). He later shot to fame on Radio Luxembourg in the 1960's. He was voted top British disc jockey for several years in that decade, by various magazines.
in 1964, he presented the first BBC 'Top of the Pops' music programme on television.
He held a record for running up the BT tower in London, and is well known for running and walking marathons across the UK in aid of many good causes.
He is famous for his outlandish clothes, Rolls Royce, cigar, jewellery and catch phrases such as 'how's about that, then', 'now then, now then', 'guys and gals' and 'eaeh eh eaeh eh'. By the mid 70's he was fronting the popular "Jim'll Fix It" show on BBC1. Jimmy Saville was awarded an OBE.
Jimmy is also well remembered in the UK for his parts in long-running television commercials for British Rail (this is the age.........of the train) and 'Clunk Click every trip' public information films.
Surprisingly, Jimmy was not one of the original team of D.J.'s on the new BBC 'Pop' station, starting instead nine months later. Here, he hosted 'Saville's Travels', a 'youth' chat show where he travelled up and down the country with a tape recorder chatting to people and playing records. In one episode, he climbed Ben Nevis in the middle of winter. Later he presented 'The Old Record Club' (the show's theme tune was The In Crowd by the Ramsey Lewis Trio) on Radio 1, Sunday afternoons until 1987.
A popular personality with one of the highest profiles ever, he has raised millions for charity.
