Classic hits, forgotten gems, and much more from music’s greatest decade.
And Johnnie’s joined by Marcella Detroit, the co-writer of two major Eric Clapton hits in the 1970s.
She’s best known as the vocalist on Stay by Shakespear’s Sister, one of the most distinctive no.1 hits of the Nineties, but Marcy was already a music business veteran by then, having played and toured with Bob Seger, Leon Russell and Clapton. Together with Eric, she co-wrote Lay Down Sally and Wonderful Tonight, so she’ll be chatting about her memories of those times and the music that influenced her too.
A feminist anthem becomes the latest record to find a place in Johnnie’s Jukebox, thanks to Malcolm Brown in Hampshire.
Tony Boyton selects a One Of A Kind song, and it’s by royal approval!
We celebrate more star name birthdays with our look at This Week In Music.
And we round off the show with a beautiful live song from 1973 with two giants of country rock joining forces In Concert.
