Brian Matthew selects more classics and rarities from pop's golden decade, with all the facts and figures and stories behind the songs, plus listener requests.

The Loose Connection this week, ties The Carpenters, Dusty Springfield and Ninette together - but can you guess what it is?

We'll be 'Playing Hard To Get' with Clive Sands and his rare classic 'Marie'. Sands, one of 6 siblings including Peter and Richard Sarstedt, first had a taste of the music world with his brothers and sisters when they toured their local clubs and coffee bars as a skiffle group in 1957. He released 'Marie' under the name Clive Sands, and later scored a hit in 1976 with his version of 'My Resistance Is Low' using his birth name; Clive Sarstedt.

As always, Brian will be honouring listener requests including: David Essex, Freddy Cannon, The Shadows, The Beatles, Shirley Bassey & Neil Diamond.

Don't forget you can always submit your own requests for the show by emailing us at: sots@bbc.co.uk.
