1972: LABI SIFFRE on Songwriting | Sounding Out | Classic BBC Music | BBC Archive

Labi Siffre - the singer-songwriter behind hits like It Must Be Love, Crying Laughing Loving Lying, I Got The... and Something Inside So Strong - discusses his earliest musical influences, how he doesn't fit the popular image of a black artist, why his religious upbringing turned him off didactic lyrics, and the dubious merits of cover versions.

This clip is from Sounding Out, originally broadcast 21 February, 1972.
