    Steve Cropper: "(Sitting On The) Dock Of The Bay"

    The great Steve Cropper wrote Dock Of The Bay with Otis Redding a week before the singer perished in a plane crash in December 1967. It went on to become the sixth most played song of the 20th century. Cropper also produced the track, which ushered in a long career writing, producing and appearing with some of the greatest artists of his time. A reluctant frontman, he considers himself a collaborator, a skill he proved for many years as part of Booker T & The MiGs, with whom he wrote Green Onions, and as a co-writer of such Stax label signature hits as In The Midnight Hour and Knock On Wood. Here he talks about growing up in Memphis, Stax and its founders, the fraught completion of Dock Of The Bay two days after Redding's death, and his latest album Fire It Up.

    John Cameron: "Whole Lotta Love" by CCS

    The role of the arranger is often overlooked in the story of pop music, so let’s meet one of the busiest in the business in the 1960s and ‘70s, John Cameron, who’s very first commissioned arrangement, Donovan’s Sunshine Superman went to No. 1 in the USA. It started a long association with producer Mickie Most and the RAK label, which, in 1970, led to Most signing Cameron’s own act, C.C.S - aka The Collective Consciousness Society - a 25-piece big band featuring the cream of British jazz players tackling blues, rock, funk and flamenco tunes. Their version of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love was a worldwide hit and became the theme to Top Of The Pops for many years. In this extended episode, John guides us through the making of Whole Lotta Love and a varied career which includes work with Eric Idle, Donovan, Bobbie Gentry, Ken Loach, Hot Chocolate and Heatwave. He talks about the demands of arranging, film scoring, the UK session scene, his much-sampled library music for KPM and Bruton, walking out on Serge Gainsbourg and having better luck with some other Frenchmen to become the arranger of smash stage musical, Les Miserables.

    Lissie: "When I'm Alone"

    Jim Irvin chats with an artist he has collaborated with extensively, Lissie, a restless native of Rock Island, Illinois, about When I’m Alone, the first song they wrote together (with writer and producer Julian Emery), which made her known all over the world.  She talks about her memories of the session in London, how the song launched her career and what it led to, but also how the enforced hiatus caused by the pandemic, coupled with a painful break-up earlier in 2020, have made her view her career plans in a whole new light.  An accompanying Spotify playlist can be found by searching for Here’s One I Made Earlier: Lissie; or clicking here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2pJpxBKeW67DnGf5zHXePq?si=0QESLEkKSUimOOcPMWnAsw

    Mick Glossop: "The Crack" by The Ruts.

    Producer Mick Glossop has one of the most extraordinary CVs of any British record maker. Raised in Birkenhead in the ‘60s, he has inhaled the beefy aroma of lunchtime gigs at The Cavern in Liverpool, survived 17 albums behind the desk with Van Morrison, and travelled the world as an in-demand “gatherer” of sound since the 1970s. We discuss his life and his production techniques in this episode and focus on a cult classic he cut in 1979, The Crack,  the sole complete album by West London punk’n’dub outfit The Ruts.
