Johnnie Walker hears 70s memories from Canadian manager, songwriter and performer JJ Barrie.

Johnnie Walker celebrates the decade of The O'Jays, Olivia Newton John and the Ohio Players.

This week J. J. Barrie remembers the decade in the My 70s feature. In 1976 he reached the top of the UK chart with the track No Charge, which would be his only hit single. Beginning the decade as a manager of bands including Blue Monk and Ocean, he moved on to become a songwriter before taking to the stage himself. In the show he'll remember what success of the song meant to him and pick a couple of his favourite tracks from the decade.

Also on the show, Johnnie will revisit a moment from the decade courtesy of the BBC archive and another classic seven-inch single will be added into Johnnie's Jukebox.
