BBC journalist Sally Magnusson reports from Nashville, Tennessee, on the impact of Christianity on punk, rap, hip-hop and pop music in America, where a relatively new, sex-and-drugs-free "rock 'n' roll" is outselling jazz, classical and soundtrack. Industry giants EMI,
Warner and Provident are scooping up independent Christian labels, but those artists wanting to be judged solely by their music are having to combat the prejudices of consumers who are unwilling to look beyond the clean-cut lyrics. Contributors include publisher
John Styll (president of the Gospel Music Association), Bill Hearn (EMI Christian Music Group executive), hip-hop artist Toby Mac and rock act Jars of Clay. Producer Terry Carte

3/4. Petula Clark profiles the great French chanteuse Edith Piaf (born Edith Giovanna Gassion ), who died in 1963, aged 47, following a career marked by consistently stirring performances. This edition recalls the recording in 1946 of one of her key works - La Vie en Rose - and the first of her nine tours to
America, where she fell in love with boxer Marcel Cerdan , whose 1949 death in a plane crash proved devastating for the singer.
