Phil Collins and Jack Savoretti

Jack Savoretti performs live as part of Radio 2 House Music and Phil Collins chooses the Tracks of My Years in an interview first broadcast in 2016.

Jack Savoretti, singer songwriter, performs live with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra as part of Radio 2 House Music. Jack will be performing a track from his most recent album "Youth And Love" released last year plus an old favourite from 2012 called "Breaking The Rules" Previous sessions include singing superstar Barry Manilow live from his home in Palm Springs, Nell Bryden from New York, Richard Marx from Malibu, Kelly Clarkson from Montana and Jason Mraz from San Diego.

Phil Collins, best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis and for his hugely successful solo career, picks the Tracks of My Years from an interview first broadcast in 2016. Between 1982 and 1990, Collins scored three UK and seven US number-one singles in his solo career. When his work with Genesis, his work with other artists, as well as his solo career is totalled, he had more US Top 40 singles than any other artist during the 1980s. His most successful singles from the period include "In the Air Tonight", "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind of Love" (featured in the film Buster), "I Wish It Would Rain Down" and "Another Day in Paradise".

In May 2015, Collins signed a deal with Warner Music Group to have his solo albums remastered and reissued with previously unreleased material. In October of that year, he announced that he was no longer retired and had started plans to tour and make a new album. By mid-2016, all eight of his albums were reissued with the artwork updated to display Collins as his older self, the exception being Going Back, which had a new cover. He talks about this with Ken plus his hopes for the future throughout the week and his next two chosen tracks come from The Walker Brothers and The Action..

Ken also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Ken.Bruce@bbc.co.uk
