Wednesday's theme is 'musical matches' which celebrates pop's great couples. I'd quite like folk to request a pair of songs from a pop couple (Chrissie Hynde and Jim Kerr) or maybe a single song featuring a couple like Sonny and Cher.

Two couples, one band. Love them or loathe them, they're not going away:
ABBA (can't even do the back to front B) Head Over Heels
Just a small request on top of that - I missed Monday's show and can't listen to it again without being extremely rude to my hosts. How's about displaying the playlist?

At 6th Oct 2010, henri hannah wrote:Of course, the real henri hannah wouldn't be difficult to impersonate because, whilst having huge affection for John & Yoko as people, the McCartney request would be typical.
Truth is Macca and his Mrs were always musically more profound because they were able to sing together harmonically.
Linda took a fair slating for her musicanship but she could sing decent backing vocals.
So, just for a change, Bryan, - and since I'm doubtless going to have to endure Dignity Once More - could we hear something interesting and good.
There is only one album credited to "Paul & Linda McCartney", "Ram" which, whilst issued at the height of bad feeling about the Beatles break up, is nonetheless one of Mccartney's finest albums.
It might have been called 'Experiments with our voices' because the singing styles are like nothing else in the Mccartney repetoire and, Linda is a big part of it - so it's not tokenism ( well, it is, but it works).
From the album Ram - the fabulous Monkberry Moon Delight - Paul & Linda McCartney
