Well, there we go. Thanks very much, Polly. Absolute wonderful show as per normal way.
All right, I'm going to stick with me for the next couple of hours, taking you through to 9 o'clock. Quality jazz funk and soul all the way. Don't forget, at the top of the hour, at 8 o'clock, we have a couple of jazzy numbers. That's in the Colosseum's corner. And between now and then, they're back to back classic by a classic artist. In the second aisle, after a couple of brand new ones, they've come out this week. We've got the three that's been dug out of my Garry. Yep, not from the archives, but dug out of Les' Garry.
So that's all to come in the next couple of hours. So are you ready? All the knobs, all the sliders in the right place. So I think we better get going. Here we go then.

Absolutely wonderful. Jean Carn, there we go, giving up on love.

Right, meanwhile, I'm going to play this next track because I know somebody out there is going to love. And I know who that person is, it's going to be Ricky. Here you go, Ricky.
