“A long, long, time ago I fell in love with voices in harmony. It almost didn’t matter what the songs were… it was the sound of human voices blending together,” the singer/actress explained.

“I never recovered from that initial assault on my senses and, in particular, I loved female voices singing together.

“Growing up when I did, I was lucky enough to hear and fall in love with so many great girl groups – these girls had A SOUND!”

The programme features tracks from 1930’s stars The Boswell Singers, and war-time favourites The Andrews Sisters, all the way through to the Spice Girls and Wilson Phillips.

The Chiffons, The Shirelles, The Shangri-Las, and The Dixie Cups also star, along with Midler’s personal recollections of the tracks, and examples of how they inspired her own music.

Tune in to Radio 2 on Sunday at 5 pm UK time.
