OGWT was my favourite ever music programme on TV. Alan Freeman on the radio on a Saturday (?) was great too

I had no idea that John Phillips was a control freak or that the band were so dysfunctional after their initial success…or that Michelle Phillips was a bit of a slag….or a child of free love in the Sixties

They released some very iconic music though
