Prince Charles has been picking out in 2021 his favourite songs, including two by Welsh artists, for a hospital radio show that highlights the work of volunteers during the pandemic.
He revealed the top 13 tracks that give him "an irresistible urge" to dance including songs by The Three Degrees, Barbra Streisand and Edith Piaf. He also included songs by former royal harpist Catrin Finch and Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel.
The show, called Music & Memories, was pre-recorded for the Hospital Broadcasting Association (HBA).
The future king discusses a selection of his favourite tracks from throughout his life, including Givin' Up, Givin' In, which The Three Degrees performed at his 30th birthday and a song which he recalls "long ago, used to provide me with an irresistible urge to get up and dance".
Charles also chose Don't Rain On My Parade by Barbra Streisand, and recalls how he was able to see the star perform on set at Warner Bros Studios when he served as a young lieutenant on HMS Jupiter.
