The Only One

Henry Ayrton, with the help of Little Richard and Peggy Lee, reveals why eight is the lucky number this weekend.

8 Hits A Month: first of a new series looking at US number eight hits - this time from 1956 to 1958 with Fats Domino, Little Richard, and Peggy Lee among the hit makers.

The A-Z of R&B Number Fives: studying the letter "H", which will stand for the likes of Roy Hamilton, The Heartbeats, and Bobby Hendricks.

The Only One: as experienced by Ricky Nelson, Etta James and others.

Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper are remembered in The Day The Music Died - an event that took place exactly sixty-years ago.
