Johnnie hears 70s memories from songwriter Richard Kerr.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by songwriter Richard Kerr.

Richard began his career in the 1960s and has penned numerous Top 40 hits for artists like Barry Manilow, Dionne Warwick and Don Partridge. The seventies saw him work with Scott English, writing "Brandy" which became the US No. 1 hit "Mandy" for Barry Manilow.

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.
