Does anyone remember Mike Raven?

As I recall his show was on sunday evening in the early days of Radio 1. It was Mike Raven's R & B show, and he played the blues, R & B and also played ska & bluebeat long before anyone else that I'm aware of in British broadcasting. Along with John Peel's Top Gear show it shaped my musical taste for life. Is he still alive and if so what is he doing?

Now I'm saying that today's DJs don't have exotic personal lives
But just read Mike Raven's obit from 1997.
Thanks David
Fascinating. I don't recall him doing all that other stuff though.
