In this episode you'll hear tracks from a Dutch country and pop band who were inspired by the Bee Gees track Massachusetts, they were Pussycat. A debut single from a reggae musician who also made radio and TV jingles, Pluto Shervington, and a track originally recorded by Hoagy Carmichael but was made famous by Robin Sarstedt.
