BBC Radio 2 - Ken Bruce, With Status Quo rocker Rick Parfitt picking his final two songs in Tracks of My Years

Status Quo rocker Rick Parfitt picks his final two songs in Tracks of My Years.

Status Quo rocker Rick Parfitt picks his final two songs in Tracks of My Years, with music from Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballe, and Chuck Berry. Plus, PopMaster.

Status Quo rocker Rick Parfitt ends his week long residency on the Tracks Of My Years by picking a very understated pop/operatic song from Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe that was used as the BBC theme song to the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Rick also picks a fifties classic from rock 'n' roll pioneer Chuck Berry. Plus there's the daily love song dedication, the Record and Album Of The Week and the Friday round of the PopMaster music quiz. Rick has been Rockin' All Over The World with Status Quo for over five decades and, earlier this year, he starred alongside bandmate Francis Rossi in Status Quo's first feature film Bula Quo!. The comedy finds the legendary rockers become unwittingly involved in a local mafia operation on the tropical island of Fiji.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
