Former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett picks his final songs in the Tracks of My Years, which today features a power ballad from Celine Dion and a '60s hit from the Byrds.
Former Genesis guitarist and solo singer-songwriter Steve Hackett talks about his final song choice in the Tracks Of My Years.
Today's selection includes a power-ballad by Celine Dion that was the main theme song to the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic. The track hit the top of the charts in many countries, becoming the World's biggest-selling single of 1998. Steve's other pick is a 60s track by American rock band The Byrds that was inspired by their flight to London and accompanying British tour of 1966.
There's also another play from the Album Of The Week and the Friday round of the music quiz PopMaster.
