Ep 506 - Lionel Richie, Mick Jagger, The Kinks, Split Enz

The irrepressible Lionel Richie is featured this week in a very engaging and energetic chat with Marilyn Denis from 2001. He talks about his favourite songs from his solo career and The Commodores – and his biggest regret.  Plus, we have Mick Jagger as you’ve never heard him – totally relaxed! Mick is in conversation with Roger Ashby from Eddy Grant’s studio in Barbados in 1986.  He talks about their upcoming album “Dirty Work” and reminisces about the infamous Stones visit to Toronto in 1977 that led to Keith Richards’ arrest.           We also have a fantastic series of interview clips with Ray Davies of The Kinks as he talks about the meaning behind some of his band’s greatest hits.  Plus, a short chat with Tim Finn of Split Enz as he aims a very brotherly backhanded compliment at his brother Neil for writing their breakout hit “I Got You”. A jammed pack and very entertaining episode!
