The latest addition to Johnnie’s Jukebox is a very influential soul track, nominated by Lynne Gardner, who listens to the show each week in France.

Our latest One Of A Kind selection comes from Matt Lukeman in Redditch, and sees an orchestral soundtrack theme from one of the all-time greatest movie franchises turned into a Top 10 hit from the Disco era.
