Cerys Matthews delves further into the archives to put together a specially curated mixtape of her favourite stories from across 25 series of the BBC Radio 4's Soul Music.

Each episode of Soul Music takes a different piece of music – it might be a pop song, or a hymn, or a piece of classical music or world music – and looks at why it moves us and what it means to different people.

In the last of three episodes, Cerys's chooses:

ELO.: ‘Mr Blue Sky’
Sam Cooke: ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’
Bob Marley: ‘Redemption Song’
Julie Andrews: ‘Feed The Birds’
Communards: ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’
Elvis Presley: ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’

Producer: Mair Bosworth.

Made for BBC Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in January 2018. Show less
