And there鈥檚 an archive interview piece with Nanci Griffith, who passed away last week.

Johnnie was a huge fan of her work and spoke with her many times during her career, so we revisit his 1993 Radio 1 chat with Nanci when she came to London for a promotional visit, and play one of the standout songs from her beautiful 1978 debut album.

In the rest of the show, an epic hit from the mid-70s has been suggested by Linda King in Didcot as our latest addition to Johnnie鈥檚 Jukebox, and our quirky One Of A Kind song is a 1970 instrumental smash that鈥檚 been chosen by Jeff Taylor in Widnes鈥� have a harmonica handy for that one!

This Week In Music features birthdays and noteworthy events from across the decade.

Plus we鈥檝e more of your stories, memories, and song requests throughout the show.
