Johnnie hears 70s memories from Rita Coolidge.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by Rita Coolidge.

The seventies saw Rita go to Los Angeles and work with Delaney & Bonnie, becoming a popular background singer for numerous artists including Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills. She also met Kris Kristofferson during this time, recording several duet albums together as well as winning a Grammy Award. She shares her memories of the decade with Johnnie.

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