I liked the one when Bill Gates was on. He wanted to discuss which 8 islands he would take with him if he was ever stranded on a gramophone record.
This is my selection.
Records:
1, I wish it would rain - The best group in the world (The Temptations) with the best singer there has ever been (The one and only Mr.David Ruffin) Chokes me up EVERYTIME.
