In part 14 of The People's Songs we'll hear how The Specials' no.1 single Ghost Town reflected the nation's bleak mood in 1981 at a time of rioting and urban decay. This episode will be broadcast in April 2013 on BBC Radio 2, but we're inviting listeners to get in touch now with their comments and stories to feature in the programme.
