A record box of musical delights that you never new you loved, plus some eclectic Afro/funk fusion from this week's session band Cymande II. The featured album this week is 'Bo Diddley Is A Songwriter', a collection of songs that have been written by Bo but not necessarily performed by him. The featured artist this week is American singer and songwriter Gary US Bonds concentrating mainly on the soul music he created in the sixties. The gospel spot is dominated by The Famous Davis Sisters who were the first of the female groups to use the hard gospel style of uptempo screaming passion. And as always there's a collection of old tracks that you may not have heard for years and a smattering of new releases.
