Johnnie hears 70s memories from Chris Norman of Smokie.

Johnnie Walker hears the 70s memories of Chris Norman from Smokie.

Joining the RAK record label in the seventies and working with songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, Smokie had a string of hits including "If You Think You Know How To Love Me", "Don't Play Your Rock 'N Roll To Me" and "Living Next Door To Alice". Chris remembers the decade and picks some of his favourite songs.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
