One of the best-loved and most recognisable songs of the '70s enters our virtual jukebox.

It's another superb two hour playlist of the decade鈥檚 finest music chosen by Johnnie.

One of the best-loved and most recognisable songs of the '70s enters our virtual jukebox. To mark this very special occasion, not one but two listeners will be telling us why this 400th record means so much to them. And you'll probably end up singing along to every single word.

We're in the archives revisiting Johnnie's 2020 pre-lockdown studio chat with David Essex. This week in 1973, the film That'll Be The Day received its premiere in London. It became one of that year's biggest box-office successes, with the soundtrack album dominating at the top of the chart for almost two months, helping to launch a parallel acting and pop career for its breakout star.

This Week In Music features birthdays for music's most famous preacher, a Welsh pop legend, and the evocative 1979 no.1 that soundtracked the story of some animated rabbits!

All this plus lots of your stories, mentions, dedications and song requests.

We'd love you to get in touch for any of our future shows: walker@bbc.co.uk
