Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

On today's show legendary American singer Mavis Staples shares her 'First, Last and Everything' - that鈥檚 the first record she owned, the most recent one she's been enjoying and the record that means 'everything' to her. As well as singing with her family's band The Staple Singers and as a solo artist, Mavis has also had a career in acting. In today's 'First, Last and Everything', as well as picking the tracks important to her, Mavis discusses what happened when Bob Dylan proposed to her and she turned him down.

Also on the show, Mark and Stuart pick another 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend.

You can take part in The Chain, choosing a track for our world-famous list of interconnected songs, as it approaches number 8000!

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
