Lulu chooses her final Tracks Of My Years

Pop icon Lulu chooses her final Tracks Of My Years. Plus final plays of the Album and Record Of The Week and more Ten To The Top.

Pop icon Lulu chooses the songs that soundtrack her life all this week on Tracks Of My Years.

Starting her career with ‘The Luvvers’, Lulu had hits in the mid-60s with ‘Shout’ and ‘Leave a Little Love’, played alongside The Beatles, The Stones and The Kinks, as well as becoming the first British female singer to perform behind the Iron Curtain.

After going solo, Lulu entered the world of acting with her debut in ‘To Sir, With Love’ before going on to present various ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ series. Other highlights from her storied career include representing the UK at Eurovision in 1969, recording a Bond theme and being awarded an OBE in 2000.

Lulu is off on her ‘Champagne for Lulu’ farewell tour in April, celebrating 60 years in music. The tour starts in Glasgow on the 9th and concludes at the London Palladium on the 17th.

Lulu’s final two tracks come from Bruno Mars and Beyonce and Naughty Boy.

There'll also be more audio nuggets from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's final spins of the Record and Album Of The Week; and two more contestants try their luck in the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
