It's Only Rock n' Roll...Happy Birthday to Keith Richards!

Bob's got more great 70s tunes to share, and he celebrates the birthday of Rolling Stone Keith Richards with a clip from Keith's 1974 interview from the Old Grey Whistle Test.

In October 1974, the Rolling Stones were getting ready to release their 12th studio album. Keith Richards was Bob's guest on the Old Grey Whistle Test at the start of that month to chat about the album, among other things. The interview was memorable - not least for Keith's languid rock n' roll appearance at the time.

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".
