This is fittingly followed by one of the most influential bands of all time - The Who with ‘My Generation’. Three huge hits from Manfred Mann, Gerry and The Pacemakers and Herman’s Hermits follow. Classics from The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown and The Move are included before massive number ones from Zager and Evans and Tom Jones. We close this disc with legendary tracks from icons Marvin Gaye and Nina Simone.

David Bowie’s early ‘The Laughing Gnome’ is celebrated, as is the King, Elvis Presley, with the hugely successful ‘Wooden Heart’. We end this disc with the number one hit ‘Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)’ from Peter Sarstedt.

Starting disc 3 with the seven weeks at number one smash - ‘Cathy’s Clown’ from The Everly Brothers, followed by huge hit ‘The Young Ones’ from Cliff Richard & The Shadows. Stevie Wonder’s incredible vocals appear on the smash ‘I Was Made To Love Her’, plus top tracks from The Walker Brothers, Sandie Shaw and Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames. Pop brilliance from Bruce Channel, Billy J. Kramer and Freddie and The Dreamers follows, before finishing with the all-time classic ‘Silence Is Golden’ from The Tremeloes.

Disc 4 opens with a fantastic run of legendary R&B/Soul artists and tracks - beginning with ‘River Deep - Mountain High’ from Ike and Tina Turner and continuing with The Supremes, Martha and The Vandellas, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, plus the incredible vocals of Aretha Franklin with her enduring hit ‘Respect’. ‘Everlasting Love’ from Love Affair and ‘Needles And Pins’ from The Searchers give way to another run of UK number ones from The Honeycombs, Tommy Roe, Marmalade and The Scaffold, before ending this hit-packed track list with easy listening gold ‘The Last Waltz’ from Engelbert Humperdinck.
