"Savages Greatest Hits of All Time 2008" being Adrian Horwitz's remake of Kevin Savage's show from 4th May 2008.

Kevin features in virtually every link and where he does not introduce the song, Adrian has added an Ad or Voiceover done by him.

The playlist is faithful to his but for 2 items- Adrian used Chrissie Hind's version of "I got you babe" and not Sony and Cher because he had a clip of Kevin introducing the song and for the same reason substituted Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop for Go your own way.

Listen to Dave Guselli's "Dedicated to You" on Capital Radio 604 LIVE at 10am , he may just spin that tune for someone special for you.

"Dedicated to You" brought to you by Prestwick on Gowrie - a collection of luxury self-catering accommodation in the KZN Midlands. Check out our website for more details - https://www.prestwickongowrie.co.za/
