Remembering Les McKeown and Jim Steinman

Johnnie鈥檚 here with two hours of the best music spanning this remarkable decade.

And we revisit his affectionate 2018 chat with the Bay City Rollers frontman.

Les passed away earlier this week, aged 65, and we also lost Meat Loaf鈥檚 collaborator on the mega-selling Bat Out Of Hell album, so Johnnie pays tribute to both men with some archive clips and a few of their best-loved songs.

Our latest Jukebox entry is a 1976 classic, chosen by Keith Haynes in Aylesbury.

Iconic German electronic pioneers feature on the next One Of A Kind record, thanks to listener Derek Bain, who lives near Silverstone, and there鈥檚 a motoring theme to his selection!

In Concert wraps up the programme with three acts who performed together on the bill for the opening night of a famous punk tour at London鈥檚 Roxy club in Covent Garden back in 1977.

Plus we celebrate birthdays for a super Swede, one of the most influential music producers of the decade, and a founder member of a famous New Wave band from Atlanta, Georgia
