Brian Matthew selects more classics and rarities from pop's golden decade, with all the facts and figures and stories behind the songs.

Listener requests this week include tracks by: Junior Walker & The All Stars, The Idle Race, The Animals, 1910 Fruitgum Company, Eddie Cochran, and Bobby Bare.

Brian's newest feature, With Words Added, looks at songs which hit the charts after originally being released as instrumentals. This week, it's the turn of 'The Exodus Song', which began its musical journey as the main theme to the movie 'Exodus' and peaked at number 8 in the charts. Brian's playing the 1961 version complete with lyrics by Pat Boone.
