BBC Radio 2 - Ken Bruce, Lewis Capaldi and Gladys Knight

Lewis Capaldi chooses his Tracks of My Years, and Gladys Knight is on the phone.

Lewis Capaldi, the UK singer-songwriter, chooses his Tracks of My Years, and Ken chats to the legendary Gladys Knight about her UK tour.

Lewis Capaldi, the UK singer-songwriter who has had the biggest selling single of the year so far with 'Someone You Loved' picks the Tracks of My Years. His song choices today are from Shania Twain and Bob Dylan. His debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent was recorded over 18 months in London, Los Angeles and New York. Before that Lewis had been plugging-in night-after-night into the local pub gig circuit of Glasgow. Since then he's gone on to sell over 150,000 headline show tickets and sold out five back to back tours. He's also supported Sam Smith, Rag’n’ Bone Man, Bastille & Niall Horan on their tours. Lewis will also support Ed Sheeran at some of his UK stadium tour dates this summer. He's achieved over 600 million plays across streaming services and enlisted the acting skills of the phenomenal actor Peter Capaldi in one of his music videos.

Ken also chats to Gladys Knight on the phone about her upcoming UK tour, which includes two nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Gladys also tells Ken about her experience performing for BBC Proms in the Park last year, her latest collaboration with Boy George and what she loves about her UK audiences.   

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week.
