John Wayne features in the 'mystery year' of 1979

Steve Springett with a 'fab 5', 'midnight love', 'tenuous tunes' and a 'novelty song'.

Tonight's 'mystery year' is 1979 and in this year John Wayne died in June. What was his real name?

Friday's novelty song is Rick Dees and His Cast Of Idiots - Disco Duck.

On this day in 1964 Ringo Starr takes and passes his driving test. Therefore our 'tenuous tunes' tonight are good songs to drive to.
