Available for 24 days

2006 marks fifty years since 1976... that means fifty years since so many landmark musical moments! Bob was there and in the thick of it all, so you can count on him to shine a light on some of the biggest, best and historical events from such a fabulous year. There are so many to choose from... Abba, The Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Joan Armatrading, Leo Sayer, Hot Chocolate, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Wings, Elton John and Donna Summer are just a few who had hit singles here in the UK, and who can forget... The Brotherhood of Man had the best-selling single of the year with 'Save All Your Kisses For Me', selling well over a million copies! Notable albums came from Eagles with their iconic album 'Hotel California', Peter Frampton unleashed his ground-breaking concert LP 'Frampton Comes Alive', while the likes of Status Quo, Diana Ross, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin all released some of the most celebrated albums of their careers. Meanwhile, a new sound was emerging from the next generation, and it was the year punk reared its head, with The Damned and the Sex Pistols both releasing their debut singles. To listen on most smart speakers, just say “Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".
