Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Rita Coolidge shares her 70s memories, including meeting future husband Kris Kristofferson and recording 8 albums during the decade.

At the start of the decade, Rita was performing with (and romantically linked to) both Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, finding herself implicated in the breakup of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in 1970. She released her first solo album in 1971, featuring contributions from Stephen Stills, Booker T Jones, Bobby Womack and Ry Cooder.

Also on the show, Johnnie uncovers the stories from This Week In Music and another classic seven-inch single enters Johnnie's Jukebox.
