A selection of songs that would have been on popular music radio in the heyday of AM broadcasting, starting with the pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline and Radio London in the mid 1960s, along with Radio Luxembourg's English language service, and then running through early Radio 1 until FM took over in the late 1980s.

Summer Lovin' - The Ultimate Summer Playlist

Ah, summer - the season of sunshine, long days, and endless nights. What's a summer without the perfect soundtrack, eh? As we bask in the warmth and enjoy the laid-back vibes, we're treated to a playlist that's guaranteed to get us singing along and dancing in the streets.

Stevie Wonder kicks off the party with his iconic I Just Called To Say I Love You, a feel-good anthem that's impossible to resist. Meanwhile, Slade's Mama Weer All Crazee Now and The Beatles' Hey Jude bring the nostalgia and energy to get us moving. ABBA's Dancing Queen and The Osmonds' Love Me For A Reason showcase the catchy, upbeat tunes that define the era.

As the playlist continues, we hear Prince Charming by Adam & The Ants and Sailing by Rod Stewart - two timeless classics that evoke the carefree spirit of summer. Elvis Presley's Way Down and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor bring the rock and roll, while U2's Where The Streets Have No Name adds a touch of atmospheric magic.

The playlist also celebrates love and heartbreak with tracks like Red Red Wine by UB40, Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley, and Karma Chameleon by Culture Club. These iconic hits prove that summer is the perfect time to let our emotions shine.

From I'm Still Waiting by Diana Ross to Don't Leave Me This Way by The Communards, and In the Year 2525 by Zager & Evans, this playlist is a love letter to the music of the past. It's a joyful mix of genres and decades that will keep you grooving all summer long.

Whether you're lounging by the pool, driving with the windows down, or dancing under the stars, this playlist has something for everyone. So go ahead, press play, and let the sweet sounds of summer take over.
