Remembering Roberta Flack

Bob lifts the needle on more 70s classics and pays tribute to Roberta Flack with a special 'Best of the Test'.

In September 1972, Bob Harris presented his first ever episode of 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'. Roberta Flack was among one of the musical stars featured on that show.
Less than a year later, she visited the studios at Television Centre in London and recorded two live tracks. Join Bob to remember Roberta, who died earlier this week. He'll bring you memories of her performance and a chance to hear one of those performances.
Also on the show, another 70s Country Classic and more events in music from this week in the 1970s, courtesy of Bob's 'Rock Date Diary'.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say 鈥淪ounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".
