Brian Matthew selects classics and rarities from pop's golden decade.

Brian Matthew selects classics and rarities from pop's golden decade, including a Loose Connection linking Autumn Leaves, Bang Bang and Summer Wind.

There's a Loose Connection tying 'Autumn Leaves' by Barbra Streisand, 'Bang Bang' by Cher and Frank Sinatra's 'Summer Wind' together - see if you can guess what it is before Brian reveals the answer. 

We're rounding off our long serving Playing Hard To Get Feature by honouring one final listener request for a rare track from 1960 by Ruby Murray. Other listener requests include Buddy Holly, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Beatles, The Four Tops, The Incredible String Band and The Four Preps.
