Friday Night Extra 27.4.18 Just great songs

No guest tonight, so we just played two hours of great songs. We also asked for listeners reactions to the news that ABBA had recorded two new tracks. The results were surprisingly mixed. We remembered the acting career of Verne Troyer, MIni Me in two of the Austin Powers films. We had a couple of artists featured in the Queen’s birthday show. As the evening progressed we asked listeners for their favourite ABBA track. The most caustic reply came from Chris in Harlow who e-mailed, “favourite and ABBA are not two words that appear in the same sentence!” John also stated he was not an Abba fan. Patrick, Tania, Adrian and Chris offered tracks, whilst Bob could not choose, so spent the rest of the show whistling ABBA tunes. His wife was not amused.

Tonight’s playlist

The Goodbye Look – Eye to eye

Quincy Jones – Soul Bossanova – Austin Powers theme

Roger Miller – King of he road – requested by Phyl

Kyle Minogue – Stop me from falling – from her new no 1 album. She sang this at the Queen’s birthday party TV show.

Noel Harrison – Windmills of your mind

Jamie Cullum & Gregory Porter – Don’t let me be misunderstood – I think Jamie stole the show at the Queen’s birthday performance. AS Jonty noted, it was certainly a random selection of performers.

Adele – Rolling in the deep – loved by Adrian

Lisa Harman – Barbara Streisand medley. Lisa had been singing with Darren Day this week. We dedicated this her Dad, whose birthday it was today. Also to Jack and Mary, getting married on Saturday.

Barbara Streisand – A star is born – to mark her 76th birthday this week

Beach Boys – Wouldn’t it be nice – for Jonty who had bought the vinyl album this week in Cambridge.

George McCray – Rock your baby – requested by Bob.

Colin Blunstone – Say you don’t mind

 

Bryan Adams – Everything I do, I do for you – requested by Patrick and one of the biggest selling singles ever, number one in numerous countries.

Lady Antebellum – Need you now

George Ezra – Paradise – requested by Kristoff, a first time listener.

Nathan Carter – Beautiful life – apparently Nathan is a star in ‘Country & Irish’ – there is a new genre for us!

Dolly Parton – I will always love you – despite the fact that this is the original version by the song writer, Jonty felt it just songs wrong not to be Whitney Houston singing the song.

Pams 18 – Sonowaltz – the theme of Big L, the pirate ship Radio London, recognised instantly by Chris in Bishop Stortford.

George Harrison – What is my life – released in the UK on the B side of My Sweet Lord, but a hit in its own right in many countries.

Eric Clapton – Wonderful tonight – Eric played on the George Harrison track.

ECHO – Know where to run

ABBA – Fernando – the biggest selling ABBA track

Aretha Franklin – Respect

Joni Mitchel – Big Yellow Tax- Jonty had been humming this in Maths class today and the 17 years old boy next to him recognised it straight away.

Join me next week for another two hours of great music to make your Friday sound better.
