Behind the Hits

on BBC Radio 2

Paul Jones coaxes pop stars, songwriters and producers to reveal some of the unusual stories behind chart-topping singles. This week the theme is "accidental" hits, those songs and instrumentals that started life as jam sessions or as humble "B" sides.
Among the guests are Reg Presley of the Trogs, Leo Sayer , Alan Blaikley of the Tremeloes and Bruce
Welch of the Shadows.
