A portrait of the musical journey that singer and guitarist Ray Parker Jr. undertook at an early age. We also speak to Huey Lewis about the song I want a new drug and the fact why he is allowed to talk about the song Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr., which is very similar to his song. The members of Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark (OMD) explain how, after endless fiddling with self-built synthesizers, they suddenly ended up in Top of the Pops. And we get an insight into the creative brain of Erik de Jong, aka Spinvis.
The entire episode is almost entirely dedicated to the two times in 1967 that Jimi Hendrix came to the Netherlands. Hendrix made a great impression on the Dutch public, as we hear from presenter Judith Bosch, who welcomed him to her program Fanclub; Wim van Krimpen organized the Hippy Happy fair in Rotterdam and booked the only Dutch performance by Jimi Hendrix; In 1967, Lex Harding was not only a radio DJ, but also a band manager and managed to capture Hendrix on film. Finally, Jules Deelder tells a wonderful story about an encounter with his guitar god, who even slept with him.
The song 'Nine Million Bicycles' by Katie Melua was written by Mike Batt, he talks about how he was inspired after visiting the city of Beijing with Katie.

We see how he discovered the church after years of sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll. Nowadays he scores hits with gospel songs.
A fascinating story by Robbie Robertson, the guitarist and songwriter of The Band, who passed away this year, about the song 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'. We go to Jamaica and dive into the musical roots of Bob Marley. And songwriter Holly Knight wrote no fewer than 9 songs for Tina Turner, she talks about their collaboration and the creation of, among other things, 'The Best'.
