Brian Matthew dips into his record bag to play more golden classics and forgotten sounds from this distinctive era, including a 1966 offering from Barbara Cooper.
Brian Matthew dips into his record bag once again, to bring you more golden classics and forgotten sounds from this golden era of pop music.
Speaking of forgotten songs, this week our hard to find track for our Playing Hard To Get Feature, comes from Barbara Cooper with What's One More Tear. This 1966 offering was one of the most sought after Northern Soul singles released by the artist in the 60s. Getting hold of a copy these days could find you needing to splash out on anything from £60-£100.
Join Brian for more stories behind the songs, and as always, hear him honouring another batch of your avid requests.
