Sounds Like Rock & Soul | Rock Music & Soul History: DOCTORS (Part 2)

The Story

Rock music & soul history comes alive. Classic tracks from the rock, pop, reggae & soul archive and some of the music history behind the songs. This week's theme is DOCTORS. In Part Two: Dance Fever by Gwen Guthrie, Night Fever by The Bee Gees, Burnin' Hot by Kylie Minogue, Tell Me When The Fever Ended by Electribe 101, Fever by Peggy Lee, A&E by Goldfrapp, Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, Sick On You by The Boys, Sick Of Being Sick by The Damned and TB Sheets by Van Morrison. Learn how reggae superstars Peter Tosh and Sly & Robbie launched the career of Gwen Guthrie; how the Bee Gees resurrected their career as a result of a magazine article about working class kids in the New York suburbs; how Peggy Lee turned someone else's rock and roll song into a jazz classic; about what Alison Goldfrapp saw on an emergency visit to hospital; how Roger Waters got inspired by a bout of hepatitis; and about the way a dying friend inspired Van Morrison. All this and more rock music, pop, reggae and soul history on this week's show.
