Thanks to Ros.

 

Thursday 26 November at 10pm.

 

In the first of two shows, Will plays a personal playlist from a musical genre that he not only loves but which has influenced his own music. Artists include D'Angelo, Monica and TLC

Lovely reminder from the show's producer.

Will Young's Essential 90s R&B

Will Young Episode 1 of 2

 

Will plays his favourite 90's R&B in the first of two special shows. Artists include: D'Angelo, Monica and TLC.

Will says: "The R&B pop movement of the 90's both in the US and in the UK was such an exciting experience for me. I'm thrilled to be doing 2 shows for BBC Radio 2 exploring the artists and songs that made this decade so inspiring".

Brilliant song choices from Will. I love how much research he must have done. :D

 

So many complimentary tweets and more shows possibly in the pipeline.

@BBCRadio2 @will_young31 fantastic show, amazing playlist. But only 2 shows that's ridiculous!

Hi,

 

Can anyone name the tracks used in the shows's trailer? One of them is driving me nuts.

Here's a link to the first episode with the tracklisting, maybe it's one of these?

Don't forget the second part of this airs tonight. I really enjoyed the tracks chosen by Will last week. :D

I'm looking forward to it too. :dance: It was very good listening last week.

Great listening again last night. Will's enthusiasm is infectious. Love all the positive tweets especially as they weren't just from Will's usual band of tweeters. Many requests from listeners wanting Will to have a permanent radio slot.

Day made by @will_young31 on @BBCRadio2 with his essential 90s R&B on the drive home from work. Now that's not a sentence I thought I'd say!
