Jimmy Savile: Puppet of Pop? (part 2)
Keith Altham, NME, 13 May 1972
PERHAPS IT IS a pity if this feature, which is largely Savile talking under stress gives the impression I dislike the man. I do not. I very much admire the way he has got his life style together but like Father Christmas I find it difficult to believe in him... Keith Altham continues his probing feature on Jimmy Savile.
