Our thoughts are with all his loved ones
Tributes have been paid to Nottingham's Chris King - a veteran Northern Soul DJ and popstar who shot to worldwide fame in the 1990s. King, real name Chris O'Brien, died aged 66 on Wednesday, March 22.
"But he was so many things to so many people, he was well respected and it was really humbling to see all the nice tributes and messages. He was always busy trying to do something with music. He was also a record producer and had his own recording studio and vinyl record pressing plant. In his later years, Chris liked to spend his time restoring classic Lambrettas, which were very much a part of his Northern Soul life.
It was sung by fans on the terraces, as recalled by ardent Reds supporter Des Oldham. "I remember it being a thing when Des Walker was leaving for Sampdoria as it was happening for quite a long time," he said.
