Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they celebrate the 65th anniversary of Motown Records. The legendary American record label was founded by Berry Gordy in January 1959 and produced a huge number of hit songs for artists including Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves, The Temptations and Smokey Robinson. Mark and Stuart look back over the history, success and impact of the label and play a selection of their favourite Motown tracks.

Also on the show... a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There鈥檚 also the chance to take part in 鈥楾ea Time Theme Time鈥�, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
