On today's show legendary American singer Mavis Staples shares her 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record she owned, the most recent one she's been enjoying and the record that means 'everything' to her.  As well as singing with her family's band The Staple Singers and as a solo artist, Mavis has also had a career in acting.  In today's 'First, Last and Everything', as well as picking the tracks important to her, Mavis discusses what happened when Bob Dylan proposed to her and she turned him down.

Also on the show, Mark and Stuart pick another 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend.
