The programme featured a soundtrack performed by a range of Radio 2 artists live in the studio, re-interpreting hits from November 1963, as well as the music that played a part in the day of the shooting. Tracks ranged from the Texan songs sung to the President by a choir as he arrived in Dallas, to the song that was playing when the assassination was first announced to the world on Dallas radio station KLIF.
