Johnnie Walker hears 70s memories from Donald Fagen, lead singer of Steely Dan.

Johnnie Walker celebrates the decade of The Band, Blondie and The Beach Boys.

This week Donald Fagen, the lead singer of Steely Dan remembers the decade in the My 70s feature. Alongside Walter Becker he founded the group in 1972, and went on to release six albums in the decade that crossed the genres of jazz, rock and R&B. 1974 saw the band retire from touring and focus exclusively on studio work, with albums such as Katy Lied and Aja among their more seminal works. This year Fagen's memoir Eminent Hipsters has been released in paperback, covering his life, times and cultural heroes.

Also on the show, Johnnie will revisit a moment from the decade courtesy of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive and another classic seven-inch single will be added into Johnnie's Jukebox.
