Brian Matthew has more of the music that sound tracked the greatest decade in pop.

Neil Sedaka's getting a double spin with his 1960 offering of 'Stairway To Heaven' and its B-side 'Forty Winks Away'. The former of which was written by Neil and his long time collaborator Howie Greenfield, and features King Curtis on saxophone.

There's a Loose Connection tying three tracks from Gerry & The Pacemakers, Cliff Richard and Gene Pitney together, and plenty of other listeners requests, including: The Walker Brothers, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, David Gates, The Strangeloves, Petula Clark, Manfred Mann and Johnny Worth.
