Sounds of the 60s - 08/05/2010

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. The A-Z of The Beatles reaches 'You Can't Do That' and also asks who was the first female singer to cover a Beatles song? The One Before The Hit features Nancy Sinatra and there are tracks from Ben E King, The Who, The Tradewinds, The Cryin' Shames, The Seekers, Elvis and Traffic. With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. Sounds Of The Sixties began in 1983 and Brian has been at helm since 1990, bringing to the programme his distinctive voice and unmatchable experience of sixties pop shows.
