Sir Terry Wogan eases you into your Sunday lunch. This week, he'll be catching up with Duke Fakir, best known as a founding member of the Four Tops, and he has music from Chris Isaak.

American vocal quartet the Four Tops were one of Motown's biggest successes and helped define the label's quintessential sound of the 60s. Duke remains the only founding member of the group, having performed with them since they formed in 1953. The band, along with The Temptations, Tavares and The Crystals will be hitting the road next month for a tour of the UK.

Terry also welcomes Chris Isaak into the studio for a stripped-down session. Hailing from Stockton in central California, Chris is an American rock and roll musician and actor. Growing up in California in the 70s, he was influenced by the music of the 50s, which led to his love of rockabilly and roots music. He came to fame in 1991 with his UK top ten hit single Wicked Game, and in his recording career has released ten studio albums. His latest album Beyond The Sun, which features covers of artists including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison, was released last year.
