Johnnie is back from his break, and here with another sparkling 70s playlist.

As ever, it’s jam-packed with classic hits, hidden gems, and forgotten nuggets.

Johnnie’s Jukebox returns, and a 1976 no.1 is the latest addition to the vast collection, although you’ll be left scratching your head wondering how on earth it isn’t already in there.

One Of A Kind takes you back to 1970 for a Top Ten ear-worm that’ll get you singing along, whether you want to or not!

There are loads of birthdays to celebrate as we delve into the archives for This Week In Music and say congratulations to Graham Nash who turns 80, plus there’s cake and candles too for Phil Collins, Alice Cooper, and drummer Woody Woodmansey from Bowie’s Spiders From Mars. All that, and a new no.1 in 1979 from a bunch of former punks who embraced the New Wave sounds of the era to create a disco classic.

Plus we’ve more of your stories, requests and dedications, so get in touch anytime for a mention on one of our future shows: walker@bbc.co.uk
