Extract from Wikipedia

Sir Leslie Ronald Young, known professionally as Jimmy Young, was an English singer, disc jockey and radio personality. Early in his career, in the 1950s, he had two number ones, "Unchained Melody" and "The Man from Laramie", both in 1955. He also had several other top ten hits in the UK singles chart, but he subsequently became better known for his long-running show on BBC Radio 2, The JY Prog, which ran from 1973 until 2002.
