A great week for
music documentaries ranged from New York’s dance divas to pop in the nuclear era and a dazzling dissection of Dave’s debut album
Dance Divas 1978-1988/1988-1998 (BBC World Service) |
BBC SoundsAtomic: How Dr Strangelove Exploded Pop Culture (BBC Radio Wales) | BBC SoundsDecode: Dave’s Psychodrama | Spotify
Some lovely music programmes last week. First up, an excellent couple of hours with Dance Divas 1978-1988 and Dance Divas 1988-1998, two World Service programmes that can also be found as episodes of the BBC’s The Documentary Podcast. Hosted by the fabulous
Singer Martha Wash, of Two Tons O’ Fun and the Weather Girls, these shows are a thrilling insight into the often overlooked contribution of
Women to US dance music.
