Craig is joined by Nile Rodgers, who talks about the backgrounds of some of his biggest hits.

Hold my calls, I can't speak we've only got the legend that is Nile Rodgers in the studio! The man behind some of funkiest tunes on the planet will be taking over the airwaves and picking some of his favourite songs, plus as a man who can tell a story as well as he can write a song, expect some damn fine tales about all the legends he's worked with - everyone from Bowie to Aretha Franklin. And if that's not enough for you on a Saturday Night there's also 52 Weeks of Funk - Craig's countdown on his favourite tunes of all time, and more listener choices in Spinnage a Trois.
