Heading - FoRGG!

Subheading - Stephen Scanes

Photo - Stephen Scanes Steve Scanes, in collaboration with Jim Barnes (no, not that one), is the author of The Book: Top 40 Research, which traces every song to have made the Australian music charts since 1956.

As well, Steve has been heavily involved in the Australia music / recording industry for many years working on the production of several "Greatest Hits" albums for internationally acclaimed artists (Sandie Shaw, Petula Clark, Neil Sedaka and many others). Arguably, though, his most significant project was the development of the Living In The 70's compilation series in the early 1990's.

Steve was a guest on our August 2009 program, presenting his five favourite songs from the 1970's. Judging by the response from our listeners, it won't be long before Steve is back presenting his favourites from the 1960's and 1980's.
