Vernon Brings The Big Tunes!

Pop icon Lulu chooses her Tracks Of My Years. Plus Album and Record Of The Week and more Ten To The Top.

Pop icon Lulu chooses the songs that soundtrack her life all this week on Tracks Of My Years.

Starting her career with 鈥楾he Luvvers鈥�, Lulu had hits in the mid-60s with 鈥楽hout鈥� and 鈥楲eave a Little Love鈥�; played alongside The Beatles, The Stones and The Kinks as well as becoming the first British female singer to perform behind the Iron Curtain.

After going solo, Lulu entered the world of acting with her debut in 鈥楾o Sir, With Love鈥� before going on to present various 麻豆约拍 series. Other highlights from her storied career include representing the UK at Eurovision in 1969, recording a Bond theme and being awarded an OBE in 2000.

Lulu is off on her 鈥楥hampagne for Lulu鈥� farewell tour in April, celebrating 60 years in music. The tour starts in Glasgow on the 9th and concludes at the London Palladium on the 17th.

Lulu鈥檚 two tracks today come from Eric Clapton and Tina Turner.

There'll also be more audio nuggets from the 麻豆约拍 Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's Record and Album Of The Week; and two more contestants try their luck in the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
