Brian Matthew kick-starts the weekend with hits, facts and obscurities from the 60s, including a look at which classical work lends its melody to Emerald City by the Seekers.

Brian Matthew dips into his records bag and memory bank to bring you more music and memories that span the decade. The artists getting a bit of needle time this week include The Blackwells, Ronnie Savoy, Status Quo, Neil Christian, Bobby Darin, Force West, Susan Maughan, Jerry Lee Lewis and The Barbarians.

The Seekers make an appearance as the focus of our Classically Pop feature, as Brian reveals which piece of classical music lends its melody to their 1967 release 'Emerald City'.
