Popular Voices at the BBC: Showstoppers

Series 1, episode 1

A celebration of bravura singers who brought the house down in front of BBC cameras with their showstopping vocal delivery and performances in such programmes as How It is, Dusty, Top of the Pops, It's Lulu and Wogan. Clips range from Mahalia Jackson's breath-taking gospel delivery to Ella Fitzgerald's rapid-fire scat, and Tom Jones and Dusty Springfield's '60s big balladry to the soul divas of the '80s and beyond. Plus, vocal eccentrics including Kate Bush and Bjork and the staggering vocal range of Jeff Buckley, captured in his only BBC performance on The Late Show in 1994
