[3] Top of the Pops was a weekly half-hour programme of current popular music, initially conceived and produced by Johnnie Stewart.
For three-and-a-half years, she sat alongside the host – initially disc jockeys Jimmy Savile, David Jacobs, Alan Freeman and Pete Murray – to place records on a turntable and apply the stylus as the artist was about to perform.
[9] Juste appeared briefly in the 1965 Swinging London film The Knack ...and How to Get It, directed by Richard Lester, and also released a single the following year.
The backing music was provided by an orchestra conducted by Ken Woodman, who had worked with Chris Andrews and Sandie Shaw, and is best known for "Town Talk", which became the theme tune of The Jimmy Young Show when BBC Radio 1 launched in 1967.
"No One Needs My Love Today" was not a hit, but it was featured as a climber by the offshore "pirate" station Radio London in the week beginning 20 November 1966.
[12] Both "No One Needs My Love Today" and its B-side, Pierre Tubbs' "If Trees Could Talk", were available on compilation discs and to download forty years later.
In January 1967, the American group The Monkees, formed for an eponymous television series, reached the top of the British charts with "I'm a Believer", written by Neil Diamond.
"Monkeemania" was such that some of the Monkees' female fans resented Juste – "she even showed up one day with ink stains on the emerald green dress" – and Dolenz claimed the couple spent a week in her London flat.
Ric Klein, Dolenz's friend and best man at his wedding, described a holiday with him in England, during which Juste acted as "permanent guide", travelling with them to Stratford-upon-Avon in a rented Triumph car.
[14] Juste's father, Leslie Slater, helped Dolenz construct a studio used for "jam" sessions by John Lennon, Brian Wilson and Alice Cooper.
She taught design in Ireland, then returned to the United States, where she and her daughter, Ami, began an online jewellery business,[22] Bluebell Boutique.
