Claudia Winkleman sits in for Ken Bruce and, throughout the week, the acclaimed record producer and songwriter Pete Waterman picks the Tracks Of My Years. His first two songs include two British chart toppers. The first being Michael Jackson's biggest UK hit from his record-breaking album Thriller and a cover from Marvin Gaye which has gone on to become his signature song.

Pete was one third of the hit songwriter team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Considered one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of all time, the trio have amassed over a hundred British chart hitswith artists such as Kylie Minogue, Sinitta, Jason Donovan and Dead Or Alive. 40 of these hits are featured on the recently released album Pete Waterman Presents The Hit Factory.
