I see much more mileage in something like this where there is no need to involve the original performers or their pre-existing material. The musicians and arrangers are there - you’ve only to marvel at the house bands for “Strictly Come Dancing” or “The Voice.” All it needs is for the right people to want to do it well - and someone to make it happen.

On the other comment about Classic Rock, perhaps you were thinking of “Hooked on Classics?” Interesting connection there as Louis Clark of ELO fame was behind those albums and also “The Shadows Medley” from Instrumental Classics by the BBC Concert Orchestra
