We want to hear from YOU!
We're asking Radio 2 listeners to get involved to help make this landmark series.
Our aim is to tell the social history of Britain over the last 70 years, to paint a picture of the nation's people and how the 50 songs we've picked soundtracked their lives during this period.
Your contributions will be central to every episode of the series. We're looking for memories, comments and even photos that help to tell the story of our shared history.
Take a look at the episodes that we're making, and get in touch.- What influence did each record have on your life?
- Where were you living at the time and what were you doing?
- What memories does each song conjure in your mind?
You can send us an email now
or read about other ways to contribute
