Kaiser Chiefs' frontman Ricky Wilson has a real passion for 50s and early 60s rock 'n' roll, and in another three part series he's playing some of his favourites from the period.

Expect a selection of vintage rock and roll from Chuck Berry, Larry Williams, Gene Vincent, Brenda Lee, and The Everly Brothers. But it's not all rock and roll from the States, we'll also hear from some of the UK's stars of the time including Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, Dickie Pride, and many more. In this first episode, Ricky kicks off proceedings with one of Little Richard's most popular songs and we hear a triple from the King of Rock & Roll himself, Elvis Presley.

Ricky says: 'I couldn't be more excited about returning with even more of my Rock & Roll Classics. I can't wait for you to hear some of my old favourites, and even some of my new favourites, twisting and bopping through each hour'.

Ricky Wilson's Rock and Roll Classics is a Made in Manchester production for BBC Radio 2. Show less
