OJ's heading back to 1973 and 1974 with tracks from Sunny, Jimmy Helms, who was part of Londonbeat, and the theme from Van der Valk from The Simon Park Orchestra.

This week OJ is taking you back into Bob Harris territory, with more 70s - 1973 and 1974.

In this episode you'll hear a track from the youngest person to have had an album in the UK Top 10 - Lena Zavaroni, an orchestra formed by Barry White - The Love Unlimited Orchestra, and a band-member from Londonbeat - Jimmy Helms.

How many One Hit Wonders do you remember from over the years? The songs from artists who were huge in the charts... but only managed it once!
