Piano One Hit Wonders

This episode is all about one instrument - the piano, as Radio 2 Celebrates Piano Room Month, OJ is celebrating it with One Hit Wonders like Daniel Powter and Vanessa Carlton.

As Radio 2's Piano Month has kicked off, OJ is giving you artists who are One Hit Wonders where their biggest hit is based around the Piano.

One of the tracks features quite famously in the White Chicks movie with Terry Crews singing it, of course it's Vanessa Carlton and A Thousand Miles. Another track that features in this episode is from Brenda Russell, who OJ took inspiration from for his feature, Piano In The Dark, and a cinematic work of art from the Cinematic Orchestra.
