Tunes, chat and Motown celebration

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast and celebrate the 65th anniversary of Motown Records with a selection of classic tracks.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they celebrate the 65th anniversary of Motown Records. The legendary American record label was founded by Berry Gordy in January 1959 and produced a huge number of hit songs for artists including Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves, The Temptations and Smokey Robinson. Mark and Stuart look back over the history, success and impact of the label and play a selection of their favourite Motown tracks.

Also on the show... a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in β€˜Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
