Today they hear from singer and founding member of legendary Motown band The Four Tops, Duke Fakir.  Duke shares his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him. He discusses how he came to be part of the world-famous Motown record label, how he met his fellow Four Tops bandmates and how they were signed by Motown boss Berry Gordy. Now the last surviving member of The Four Tops, he has recently released a memoir detailing his life as part of the band and the Motown label.  

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’, which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last.  The list now contains over 8000 songs.
