Johnnie Walker meets... Elkie Brooks

Johnnie talks to Elkie about opening for The Beatles, recording with Lieber and Stoller and, as she celebrates more than 50 years in music, continuing to record and tour today.

Johnnie talks in depth to an artist who has had more Top 75 albums than any other British artist in the last two decades - she has opened for The Beatles, recorded with Jimmy Page, Mike Stoller and Jerry Lieber, fronted a band with Robert Palmer and, as she celebrates more than 50 years in music, she continues to record and tour today - the extraordinary Elkie Brooks.

Elkie discusses her life and signature songs such as No More The Fool, Pearl's A Singer, Gasoline Alley and some brand new recordings.
