Bright Side of the Road

A second dose of Owen Money for the weekend. It's nonstop music all the way, with classics from the 60s, 70s and 80s, plus your dedications!

Solid Gold Sunday is the ultimate feel-good trip down memory lane, remembering the sights and sounds of the 60s, 70s and 80s with love, laughter and Owen’s unique storytelling.

This week, Ellie Greenwich is Owen's Songwriter of the Week. Plus, we have number ones on this day from 1965, 1975 and 1985.

Owen’s “Sunday Soul Selection” is a hit from the early 80s featuring two of soul music's greats.
