With Sounds of the Sixties. Brian wonders if Tip Of My Tongue is the worst song Lennon and McCartney ever wrote.

Brian Matthew presents the programme for all fans of the music of the 1960s. This week Brian asks if The Tip Of My Tongue is the worst song Lennon & McCartney ever wrote. Performed by Tommy Quickly it sank without trace.

With facts, figures and trivia as well as the classic hits, rarities, B sides, obscurities, instrumentals and album tracks, the selection sweeps right across the most important decade for popular music from beginning to end. Including requests, dedications and regular features: The A-Z of The Beatles works its way through their entire catalogue; Stuck On Two replays hits from across the Atlantic which didn't quite make it to the top of the charts; The Song Swap features two hit covers from well-known artists; and Playing Hard To Get is for listeners who have a favourite song but who have lost the original record. Brian

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.
