BBC Radio 2 - Ken Bruce, 19/03/2012

Former Smokie frontman Chris Norman chooses his 'Tracks of My Years'.

Ken Bruce with music, chat and guests. Chris Norman, former lead singer of glam-rock band Smokie, chooses his 'Tracks of My Years', featuring songs by the Beatles and Jessie J.

This week, the former lead singer with glam rock band Smokie, Chris Norman, chooses the Tracks Of My Years and his first two records include a 60s classic from The Beatles and a recent hit from the multi-award winning Jessie J. 

The band Smokie enjoyed a run of top 10 hits during the 70s including the anthemic Living Next Door To Alice. Most of their tracks were written by the highly successful songwriter partnership of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. Their songs turned the band into European superstars. Chris continues to tour with his band - especially in Germany where he remains hugely popular with music fans.

There is a new Record and Album Of The Week, another Love Song and the Monday round of the music quiz PopMaster. Plus, The Chesney Bentings Mysteries return for BBC Sport Relief in daily two minute episodes.

When bookmaker Nigella Nervusson comes to Chesney's lodgings, our hero sets out to unmask and undo the villainous Goosegreen, with help from Radio 2's sports presenters and grandes artistes.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
