Fanfare For the Common Man!

Bob's got an archive chat with Greg Lake from ELP for his Best of the Test.

Bob is heading back to memories of filming with the mighty Emerson, Lake and Palmer for the 'Best of the Test'. In 1979, Bob met up with Greg Lake, Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer in the US, to film a documentary about the trio. You can hear a clip of Greg and Bob chatting about those memories for Bob's 'Best of the Test'.
As ever, Bob will span the decade with his musical choices for the week and seeing as we're heading into the height of Eurovision fever with this year's song contest taking place in Switzerland soon, which 70s Eurovision song will Bob choose to play?!

To listen on most smart speakers just say “Sounds of the 70s with Bob Harris".
