Johnnie's here with a great two-hour playlist of brilliantly-curated tracks from the '70s.

And we've a special John Lennon feature ahead of the 80th anniversary of his birth.

A 1979 Post-Punk classic enters Johnnie's Jukebox at the suggestion of Maria Watson in Milton Keynes.

Stories from This Week In Music during the Seventies include Dolly Parton's unlikely appearance on the cover of Playboy, Leo Sayer rush releasing the song that would give him his biggest global smash, mixed reviews for David Bowie's 'Heroes' LP, and The Police cementing their reputation with the arrival of their album 'Reggatta De Blanc'.

We also pay tribute to Helen Reddy, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 78.

Plus lots of great listener stories, requests and mentions play out right across the show.
