Johnnie hears 70s memories from Madness saxophonist Lee Thompson and remembers the life of David Bowie with some classic music and interviews.

Johnnie Walker is joined live in the studio by Lee Thompson from Madness.

Most well-known as the saxophonist and songwriter for the ska group Madness, Thompson helped form the band in the late seventies and wrote their debut single "The Prince". The group went on to become one of the most prominent groups of the 1970s and 1980s.

Also on the show, Johnnie will be remembering the life of David Bowie with some classic music and interviews from the singer/songwriter, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
