BBC Radio 2 - Sounds of the 70s with Johnnie Walker, PP Arnold

Singer PP Arnold shares her 70s memories with Johnnie.

In the 1960’s, singer PP Arnold arrived in London from Los Angeles as one of Ike Turner’s Ikettes. While she was here, the young PP struck up a friendship with Mick Jagger and decided to make London her home. Soon after, her solo career took off and she never looked back.

Since then, her incomparable voice has graced incredible records by the likes of Eric Clapton, Nick Drake, The Small Faces and the Rolling Stones to name just a few, plus she’s had her own successful albums across the decades.

Her life hasn't always been easy but she's still singing. Now, PP has released her memoirs, called ‘Soul Survivor’. 

PP will be chatting to Johnnie about her 70's memories and her musical career. 

Elsewhere on the show, another listener will add a song to Johnnie's Jukebox, plus there will be more 'One Of A Kind' and another 'BTO - Better Than Original' track. Plus stories from 'This Week In Music' and your stories, dedications and requests.
