Remembering John Lennon

Bob celebrates the life of John Lennon for 'Best of the Test' and this week's Rock Date Diary. Also, he marks what would have been Gregg Allman's 80th birthday

Bob's traversing the sounds of the decade with his usual eclectic playlist, and this week, he also celebrates the life of John Lennon for 'Best of the Test' and this week's Rock Date Diary.
In 1975, Bob conducted what turned out to be one of the most significant interviews with the former Beatle, for The Old Grey Whistle Test. Lennon was on great form, chatting to Bob about his life in New York and his latest album, and he even performed exclusively for the the show.
Bob's also got another 70s Country Classic, and he also marks what would have been Gregg Allman's 80th birthday.

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