You Can Get It If You Really Want!

Bob pays tribute to Jimmy Cliff, who died this week, plus Judee Sill is the focus for his 'Best of the Test'.

Jimmy Cliff was one of the great reggae presences of the decade. His influence was felt far and wide with his own hits, performances and collaborations. Bob pays tribute to the Jamaican-born singer, writer and producer who died earlier this week, aged 81.

Meanwhile, Californian singer songwriter Judee Sill is the focus of Bob's 'Best of the Test' with an intimate and heartfelt performance from 1973.

Also on the show, more tracks from Bob's 'Rock Date Diary' plus another 70s Country Classic pick.

To listen on most smart speakers just say “Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".

A Listen Entertainment production for BBC Radio 2.
