Bobby Crush, the pianist, songwriter and actor who rose to fame after six winning appearances on "Opportunity Knocks" picks the Tracks of My Years with songs from Dusty Springfield and Matt Monro. Bobby has also performed on the West End stage at the London Palladium alongside Jack Jones, Vic Damone and Dame Julie Andrews.

Bobby's self-titled album reached the UK top 20 and more recently he's been starring in ITV comedy Benidorm and Last Laugh In Vegas.
