On the eve of Motown's 50th anniversary, Martha and the Vandellas join with Jools to play some of the greatest songs of the 60s including Dancing In The Street and (Love Is Like A) Heatwave. Annie Lennox sings one of her solo hits and a classic big band tune, Dave Edmunds performs 70s tunes like I Hear You Knocking, Sam Sparro takes his signature Black and Gold in a swing direction and Lily Allen will surprise you with her take on a classic standard. Also Adele sings Etta James, Duffy asks for Mercy, Dizzee Rascal requests you to Dance Wiv Me, old-school rock band of the year The Hold Steady stay positive, The Ting Tings do a name check and Finnish harmonica quartet Svang are tunefully strange.
