Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland talks about his final song choices in Tracks of My Years. Today it's music by Bryan Ferry and Motown group the Contours.

Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland talks about his final two songs in the 'Tracks Of My Years' and today's choice includes Bryan Ferry's acclaimed cover of a Wilbert Harrison track that's become something of his signature song and there's also a slice of pure soul from Motown group The Contours. There's also the Record and Album Of The Week and the Friday round of the music quiz PopMaster. Soul rebels 'Dexys Midnight Runners' had a string of hits during the eighties including the two chart-toppers 'Geno' and 'Come On Eileen'. Newly reformed under the name 'Dexys', the band recently released 'One Day I'm Going To Soar' - their first album in 27 years.
