Two hours filled with of the very best music, from the greatest decade for rock and pop.

Johnnie’s here with his weekly playlist of lovingly-curated ‘70s hits, gems, and rarities. 

From the archives of This Week In Music, we hear from birthday boys Suggs, Jimmy Page, and Rod Stewart. Plus the American TV star who had the new UK no.1 this week in 1977, and the talented Brit who was topping the charts across the Atlantic that very same week.

Johnnie’s Jukebox adds a great 1976 song to its ever expanding collection, and our One Of A Kind slot returns with a quirky track, taken from the remarkable 1979 debut album by a band who went on to conquer the world in the early ‘80s. 

Bob Harris is sitting in for Johnnie on Jan 16 and 23, but you can still get in touch at the usual email address: walker@bbc.co.uk
