John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, OBE (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004), known professionally as John Peel, was an English disc jockey, radio presenter, record producer and journalist. He was the longest serving of the original BBC Radio 1 DJs, broadcasting regularly from 1967 until his death in 2004. He was known for his eclectic taste in music and his honest and warm broadcasting style.
He was one of the first broadcasters to play psychedelic rock and progressive rock records on British radio, and he is widely acknowledged for promoting artists working in various genres, including pop, reggae, indie pop, indie rock, alternative rock, punk, hardcore punk, breakcore, grindcore, death metal, British hip hop, electronic music, jungle and dance music. Fellow DJ Paul Gambaccini described him as "the most important man in music for about a dozen years".
Peel's Radio 1 shows were notable for the regular "Peel sessions", which usually consisted of four songs recorded by an artist live in the BBC's studios, and which often provided the first major national coverage to bands that would later achieve great fame. Another popular feature of his shows was the annual Festive Fifty countdown of his listeners' favourite records of the year.

Wencke Myhre - Das wär John nie passiert 1976 Er lief mir übern Weg wie einer der schon lange kein Zuhaus' mehr hat. und irgendwie, das merkte ich er war ja noch ein unbeschrieb'nes Blatt Und grade das, das reizte mich und darumzog ich ihn zu mir nach Haus. Doch es kam nicht mal zu einem Kuss da riss er wieder aus. Was ist das denn bloss für ein Mann der nicht bis 3 mehr zählen kann. Das wär John nie passiert das hätt' er nie gemacht der wusste immer, was er wollte, was er tat. Das wär John nie passiert der wusste gleich Bescheid der ging viel lieber einen Schritt zu weit. Und eines Tag's lud er mich ein zum Essen in ein teures Riestaurant. Am Ende hatte' er nicht mal das Geld mehr für die letzte Strassenbahn. Zuerst fand ich das noch sehr lustig dachte mir, das muss vielleicht s...

Six numbers, one more to dial
Before I'm before you tonight
I tried to call, been busy all night
Gave up waiting at daylight
Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody
Could you pencil me in when you can?
Though we both know that the worst part about it
Is I would be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me
I am the man on the side
Hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man on the side
One of the many
One of the few
To stand back and wait for you
Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody
Could you pencil me in when you can?
Though we both know that the worst part about it
Is I would be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me
If you wanted me
I am the man on the side
Hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man on the side
Life as the man on the side
I fell in love with the dream that I built of you
Playing the part of the queen
Taking my own advice, I'm giving up tonight
Good luck to you and the king
Excuse me, Mrs. Busybody
Could you pencil me in?
Though we both know that the worst part about it
Is I would be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me
If you wanted me
I am the man on the side
Hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man
You know, life as the man
