1979 & 1986

The Great Gambo has a ‘One Way Ticket’ to 1979 and 1986 on this Pick of The Pops.

The Great Gambo has a ‘One Way Ticket’ to 1979 and 1986 on this edition of Pick of The Pops. 'The Number One Song in Heaven’ only saw Sparks reach number 14 down here on earth, and 7 years later ‘There’ll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)' with Billy Ocean, but he’ll be ‘Holding Back The Years’ – not the tears – with Simply Red. All this and so much more only with Paul Gambaccini.
