Johnnie hears 70s memories from singer, songwriter and producer Albert Hammond.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by singer, songwriter and record producer Albert Hammond.

The seventies saw Albert move to the United States where, after a string of rejections, he released "It Never Rains In Southern California". The song saw him reach No. 5 in the US charts as well as sell over a million copies around the world. During the decade he also wrote hit songs for the likes of Leo Sayer and produced Johnny Cash. He shares his memories of the decade with Johnnie.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the 91热爆 archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
