Paul Gambaccini presents tracks from this week's US charts and hits from the last six decades.

Each week, songs are played connected to members of 'The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame'. We play 'Walking The Blues' by Willie Dixon and 'Blueberry Hill' by Fats Domino. In 'A Matter Of Life And Death', we celebrate the birthday on this date in 1951 of Jonathan Richman by playing his hit 'Roadrunner' and Paul pays tribute to Ben E. King, who has recently died. We hear Ben E's emotional performance of 'I (Who Have Nothing). 'It's Not The Same Old Song' highlights 'I Remember You' by Frank Ifield and a different song with the same title by Skid Row.

In the feature called 'Beyond The Sea', Paul plays tracks from the biggest selling albums by UK artists in America. Tonight, we hear tracks from LPs by Herman's Hermits and David Gray. 'The Other Number Ones' are records that reached the top of the American chart in 'Cash Box' magazine, but not in the 'Billboard' Hot 100. This week's examples are by Creedence Clearwater Revival and Janet Jackson.

Our R&B number ones are from 1967 and now by Aretha Franklin and Jodeci. We hear Country number ones from 1957 and this week by Marty Robbins and Little Big Town. Our featured past and present Rock number ones are by Imagine Dragons and Walk The Moon. The week's best selling album is 'Jekyll + Hyde' by the Zac Brown Band and the number one digital song for a fifth week is 'See You Again' by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth.
