Simon Parkes

Simon Parkes chooses the best of BBC Radio this week
Pick of the Week is jam-packed with moments of seismic upheaval. Such as the moment Gibraltarians realised the Britain they obstinately cling to is the Britain of the 1970's; the way Sam Cooke heard a Bob Dylan song and decided to write his own version and the effects of hearing Sylvia Plath's voice for the first time.
There's composers, chameleons, comedy and Simon's iplayer pick comes from Great Lives.
Producer: Stephen Garner
