Johnnie hears 70s memories from singer and songwriter Ray Dorset, best known as the frontman of Mungo Jerry.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by singer and songwriter Ray Dorset, best known as the front man of Mungo Jerry.

Mungo Jerry made their debut in 1970 with 'In The Summertime'. The song went on to reach No. 1 in numerous countries, and stayed at the top spot for seven weeks in the UK. It's now considered to be one of the best selling singles of all time, with an estimated 30 million copies sold. Ray talks to Johnnie about the success of the song amongst his memories from the decade.

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.
