Music industry insider Tony King is Johnnie's My 70s guest

Johnnie's My 70's guest is music industry insider Tony King.

The name Tony King might not be instantly recognisable to some music fans. However, Tony鈥檚 work with some of the most legendary artists of the 1970s certainly is. Although he was often in the background, out of the limelight, Tony worked closely with the likes of Elton John, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones, to name but a few. During the decade and beyond, Tony was a constant presence during key moments in their careers.

He's just published his memoirs, called The Tastemaker, chronicling his life鈥檚 work at the cutting edge of the music industry. Tony joins Johnnie as his My 70s guest to share just a few of his fantastic stories.

Elsewhere on the show, expect another entry to Johnnie's ever-growing Jukebox, more dedications, requests and stories from you and another Better Than the Original.
