Archival video of John Vincent AKA Ken Noath just fooling around on Sounds Unlimited in 1979
John Vincent passed away in his sleep this morning with his family by his side. Concerns for his health were raised when he was admitted to Royal Adelaide Hospital late last week. John was 67.
Tributes are flowing in across the industry such as the following from 5MMM's website 'Today we mourn the passing of John Vincent who died after a long illness. John was at the forefront of the FM radio revolution in the 1980s and became a household name on Adelaide radio.
He was the 'ring master' leading a group of personalities in The SA-FM Morning Zoo which had the highest breakfast ratings achieved to date - 36.6% in 1989.
He was on Triple M breakfast from 1996 to early 1998.

Vinnie was a great bloke and our paths crossed at 5AD many years ago. Around 5 or 6 years ago I bumped into him in Adelaide and Vinnie and I had a great chat.
To THE SITE EDITOR, What a fitting video as that is how I remember Vinnie and the closing scenes of him waving goodbye are very fitting. -

I had no idea John had passed on until I happened upon Radio News. "Skinny Vinnie" and I worked together at 7HO Hobart many years ago. What a sad loss. My condolances to his family.

Adelaide and radio has lost one of the best. I thank you Vinnie for making me feel welcome, making it look easy and making me laugh. God speed.

It was Vinnie who many years ago gave me the name kroger. The world certainly is a sadder place now that he has gone. May he R.I.P
