The Sound of Style: 1965-1973

Chris Hawkins celebrates the Sound of Style, looking at the love affair of music and fashion since the 1960s. Plus another US state features in 50 States in 50 Plays.

We celebrate the launch of The Sound of Style season, a collaboration between 大象传媒 Four and 6 Music looking at the love affair and inextricably linked relationship between fashion and music since the 1960s. 大象传媒 Four's three-part series, Oh You Pretty Things, starts tonight at 9pm. It is narrated by Lauren Laverne and each episode is sound-tracked by a 6 Music presenter, bringing their music expertise to showcase the social history, sounds and looks of the period. Don Letts has sound-tracked episode one.

On each Wednesday the series airs, 6 Music will be playing music across the shows reflecting the years covered in that evening's programme, so today will be styling their music and chat around the 1960s and early 1970s. The shows will be playing the tracks that Don has sound-tracked, plus other gems from this era, and listeners will hear Don at the top of each show talking about his music choices.

And another US state features in '50 States in 50 Plays'.

Presenter Chris 'The Hawk' Hawkins challenges his listeners to help him compile the ultimate list of songs mentioning every state in the USA, all 50 of them!

Songs might include Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama', The Eagles' 'Hotel California' or Frank Sinatra's 'New YorK New York'.
