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'. Continuing our alphabetical look at the list, we hear 'Tired Of Being Alone' by Al Green and 'This Land Is Your Land' by Woody Guthrie. In 'A Matter Of Life And Death', we celebrate the birthday on this date in 1944 of Bettye Swann with her 1967 US hit 'Make Me Yours'. Paul pays tribute to Wilton Felder of The Crusaders, who has recently died, by playing the band's collaboration with Randy Crawford -'Street Life'. 'It's Not The Same Old Song' highlights 'Everywhere' by Fleetwood Mac and a different song with the same title by Tim McGraw.

In the feature called 'Beyond The Sea', Paul plays a song from a UK artist's biggest selling album in America. Tonight, we hear tracks from LPs by Mr. Acker Bilk and Big Country. 'The Other Number Ones' are records that reached the top of the American chart in 'Cash Box' magazine, but not in the Hot 100 of the other US chart publication 'Billboard'. This week's examples are by Della Reese and Wings.

Our R&B number ones are from 1976 and now by The O'Jays and Janet Jackson featuring J. Cole. We hear Country number ones from 1963 and this week by Buck Owens and Thomas Rhett. Our featured past and present Rock number ones are by Muse and Elle King. The number one album is 'Unbreakable' by Janet Jackson and the best-selling digital song of the week is 'Hotline Bling' by Drake.
