Marc Riley's Musical Time Machine - Series 2 - Captain Beefheart and Tina Turner

In 1976, one of the most popular and famous female soul singers of all time visited Radio 1. At this time, Tina Turner was experiencing great changes in her career and personal life. She talks about using her sexuality in her performances, what it was like playing to a white audience and her views on other female singers of the time. Then in 1980, Captain Beefheart came into Radio 1 to speak to David Hepworth. Revered as one of the most creative and daring musicians of his era, his impact on other artists is seen as incalculable. The Captain talks about his love of living in the Mohave Desert, his passion for painting and discusses his favourite poets.
