Sounds of the 70's

Sounds of the 70's with Johnnie Walker is my weekly musical fix. The show plays every Sunday on BBC Radio 2 between 3pm and 5pm. As I find it difficult to listen to the programme when on air I rely on the catch up service and listen to it during the week. What I like most about the show is the information that's given out about certain tracks. I love discovering how a song was put together, or the reason a band were named or who the song was about. To me it colours in the picture that the song has already given me. The show also reminds me of the diversity of music the 70's had. There was music for everyone back then.

The 1970's were my boy to man era and listening to Sounds of the 70's often reminds me of moments and events of that decade. Music has a way of taking you right back to a moment and enabling you to revisit a time in your personal journey.

Week in week out the show has reminds me of artists or songs I'd forgotten about. The video above is one of them. Peter Skellern and the song Your a Lady (1972) was played on last weeks show (21st September 2013).

The video's below are a small selection of other 'forgotten' songs or artists that I think are worth a listen.
