Secretive affair

  

If the audio stops playing, press stop and allow time for the stream to load.

We go under cover this week and listen to 55 minutes of songs about secrets and spies, kind of. The playlist was inspired by the new film adaptation of John Le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which is well worth going out to see. We close on a song performed by Etta James, who passed in January, a few days after the man who discovered her, Johnny Otis.
