Music, chat and Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together at 50

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat, and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Al Green’s album Let’s Stay Together.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they celebrate the 50th anniversary of Al Green’s fourth album, Let’s Stay Together. Released on 31st January 1972, the album marked one of the high points of Al Green’s career, with the album’s title track making him a household name. It was also a high point in his collaboration with producer Willie Mitchell. Mark and Stuart play some of their favourite tracks from the album and discuss the enduring popularity of Al Green’s music.

Also on the show... a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
