Kirk's back again. We lost one of the greats this week, R.I.P to the legendary Frankie Beverly. We played a few from his band Maze to start the show, also a few tributes later on in the show. We also celebrate the release of the new Nathan Haines album 'Notes' which we played a few songs from. Also marking 50 years since the release of the Jackson Five's Dancing Machine album & 40 years since Stevie Wonder's The Woman In Red soundtrack album. 
All that & loads more. Cheers.
