| - Peel was a great fan of Lil Louis' French Kiss record, but described the inevitable woman faking orgasm sequence on the track as a great pity on his 13 July 1989 show. "At this point, this wonderful record degenerates into the inevitable woman faking orgasm sequence, which is a great pity I think. If it had gone on like that for another ten minutes, I should have been very happy. It does go on for about another five minutes, in fact, but not as good as that."

| - Peel was a great fan of Lil Louis' French Kiss record, but described the inevitable woman faking orgasm sequence on the track as a great pity on his 13 July 1989 show. "At this point, this wonderful record degenerates into the inevitable woman faking orgasm sequence, which is a great pity I think. If it had gone on like that for another ten minutes, I should have been very happy. It does go on for about another five minutes, in fact, but not as good as that." After his 50th birthday, Peel did an interview with the NME in which he criticised BBC Radio One for not playing French Kiss, despite the song reaching number 2 in the UK singles chart[1]: "I wish Radio 1 would try and be ahead of the game instead of behind it; by the time things go on the playlist they're dead in the clubs, they're dead on pirate radio. You wouldn't have to make that radical a change to get some of the harder records straight on the air... I mean, you do get this strange double think. You say to them 'why do you play all this Kylie and Jason?' And they say 'well, people want to hear it, it's Number Three in the charts...' But then they didn't play the Lil Louis record. They said people don't want to hear it. And you said to them, 'but it's Number Two in the charts', and they go, 'yeah! but...' So they use the same argument to prove two different things."[2] In the 90's Lil Louis failed to get any commercial success, but Peel did play a track from the artist in 1992, before losing interest in his music.
