Miles Kington and his guests focus on how songwriters are treated by their biographers. Starting with the Billboard
Encyclopedia of Songwriters, the programme examines a wide range of songwriting, the sophisticated creations of Oscar Hammerstein and Alan Jay Lerner , the emotional mini-dramas of Jacques Brel and the chart-topping anthems of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson , and Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks.
