Johnnie hears 70s memories from songwriter and composer Frank Musker.

Johnnie Walker is joined live in the studio by songwriter and composer Frank Musker.

The seventies saw Frank discover The Eagles and The Doobie Brothers while at university, and along with co-writer Dominic Bugatti decided to pursue a career in music. They penned the 1977 hit single "Heaven On The 7th Floor" for Paul Nicholas and have gone on to work with the likes of Sheena Easton, Jennifer Rush and Brian May.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the 大象传媒 archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
