Joni Mitchell.

Exhaustive list.

Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Culture Club: Iarla Ó Lionáird

Yeah.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Culture Club: Iarla Ó Lionáird

We have a clip from Hearts and Bones, Paul Simon live in Hyde Park in 2012.

We're moving on to your favourite movie and you've gone for A Space Odyssey.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Culture Club: Iarla Ó Lionáird

When you look at it now, 1968, it was made.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Culture Club: Iarla Ó Lionáird

Crazy.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Culture Club: Iarla Ó Lionáird

Yeah.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Culture Club: Iarla Ó Lionáird

It does look beautiful.
