BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker, Billy Ocean

Johnnie hears 70s memories from Billy Ocean.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by Billy Ocean.

Billy recorded his first album in 1976 with his debut single "Love Really Hurts Without You" reaching No. 2 on the UK chart. It was kept off the top spot by Brotherhood of Man's "Save Your Kisses For Me". He continued to enjoy chart success in the UK, and went on to win a Grammy Award for his worldwide hit "Caribbean Queen" in 1985. Forty years on from his debut, Billy shares his memories of the decade with Johnnie. 

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the BBC archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
