6/8. Influential soul/funk DJ
Norman Jay spins a personalised selection of classic, forgotten and modern funk recordings from the 50s onwards, showcasing popular performers and underground acts, including the Meters, Funkadelic, Creative Source and BT Express. Each week Norman is joined by the Fatback Band's Bill Curtis for a masterclass in funky drumming.
6/6. Singer Suzi Quatro pays tribute to the mavericks of rock 'n' roll, profiling both the recognised giants and the unsung heroes. She concludes with Dion (born
Dion DiMucci), the white doo-wop vocalist who with the Belmonts recorded the poignant 1959 classic A Teenager in Love. A huge solo star until the arrival of the Beatles in 1964, Dion remains a key figure from the first pop-rock era with a repertoire that includes Runaround Sue (a US number one), The
Wanderer, Lovers Who Wander,
Ruby Baby, Donna the Prima Donna and the mournful 1968 folk-pop
US hit Abraham, Martin and John.
He is joined by poet Ian McMillan.
