Legendary DJ and Radio 2 icon Johnnie Walker chooses his Tracks Of My Years in this omnibus edition.

Johnnie made his name in the 60s with the pirate ship Radio Caroline, and his night-time show was essential listening. When he moved to Radio 1 in 1969 Johnnie established a reputation as a DJ who accorded more importance to the records he played than the chat in between.

After a spell broadcasting in America, Johnnie returned home in the early 80s, and following stints with ILR stations Radio West and Wiltshire Radio in the West Country, he returned to Radio 1 to present 'The Stereo Sequence'. Over 30 years of music fandom was then channelled into Radio 2's Drivetime show which he hosted until March 2006. Johnnie now presents Sound Of The 70s since 2009 (Sundays, 3-5pm) and The Radio 2 Rock Show (Fridays 11pm).
