Just saw this - a very recognisable face from my youth. Wrote a song for the Small Faces and was one of the celebs on the front cover of Band On The Run.
RIP.

I remember him well from TV from my Childhood, always came across as a decent sort of bloke. Was he not a comedian??
RIP Kenny

Probably best described as a light entertainer if that makes sense.

I always remember him from appearing on game shows/entertainment shows, so yes a light entertainer does make sense. |

RIP ... pretty sure he was on 'The Comedians' and turns up in a few dodgy 70s movies here and there too.

I remember him primarily from 'Get This!', with Harry Fowler, circa early/mid 1970s.

I remember him primarily from 'Get This!', with Harry Fowler, circa early/mid 1970s. I m glad someone else remembers this show , that I can always recall him presenting . I think it was very early 70s , on ITV , in a similar time slot to Magpie . He also presented Just Amazing , alongside Suzanne Danielle , in the mid 80s & was also a popular guest on shows like Celebrity Squares and Give us a Clue RIP KENNY

Lynch played the role of Roland Holder in the Sweeney episode Down To You, Brother. I liked his character in that, a professional crim but measured and sensible, quite a contrast to his white mate who ended up getting them all into trouble. As with Alan David's Blakeney I reckon Holder is someone who could have stood another appearance in the series. Enjoyed 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors' as well. |

Kenny Lynch can also be heard but not seen in Sweeney! where he overdubs the lines given to the Johnson's Henchman played by Antony Scott.

A regular feature on TV in the 1970s and 1980s. RIP Kenny.

Blimey this is sad to learn - Kenny was a top turn be it acting, comedy or singing (I've a compilation CD of his 60's material and it's quality stuff).
Made an MBE if I recall as he was the first mainstream black English entertainer.
RIP Sir

Sorry to hear this. Kenny could be difficult to categorise, which increases his cult appeal  An all-rounder perhaps like e.g. Roy Castle or Peter Gordeno - in theory, a light entertainer but could also turn his hand to acting, both comedy and serious. R.I.P. Kenny Lynch. |
