Timothy Alan Patrick Rose (September 23, 1940 – September 24, 2002), best known professionally as Tim Rose, was an American singer-songwriter, who spent much of his life in London, England and had more success in Europe than in his native country. Known for his gruff voice, Rose was often compared to Ray Charles, Rod Stewart and Joe Cocker (read more at Wikipedia)
Links to Peel[]
Tim Rose's two best-known tracks, the singles "Morning Dew" and "Hey Joe" (which preceded the hit version by Jimi Hendrix), were both featured heavily on pirate radio at the time Peel was working for Radio London. Rose was living in London at this time and was therefore one of the first artists to record a session for Top Gear. Four more sessions followed, and to judge from some of his on-air comments on 1968 shows, Peel had got to know the singer, who had a more extrovert personality than most late-1960s singer-songwriters, and seemed to have taken a liking to him.
After 1968, however, the singer's records were less successful. There were no more Tim Rose sessions on Top Gear, and few plays on Peel shows until 2002, when the DJ revisited "Morning Dew" and "Hey Joe" after Rose's death.
