Keener Podcast - 1/22/05
On this week's Keener Podcast, as Scott struggles with laryngitis, Brian Ibbott talks about his Coverville Podcast, a program dedicated to cover versions of rock hits. Former Detroit DJ Tom Shannon announced his retirement this week and we cross the river to hear a 1976 aircheck from his days at CKLW. Rick Dees is the guest. In honor of Coverville, we play a Keener Double Shot, a song that appeard on the WKNR music guide at two different times, by two different artists. Jim Heddle plays a Bunny Sigler Keener cover. And author/journalist Susan Whitall joins us to talk radio, 60s and motown music.

Hey guys--how about getting the terminology right! A COVER is a record issued at approximately the same time as the original and meant to be more popular at the same time the original is out. A REMAKE is a the same song issued at a substatially later date meant to stand on its own. There were many COVERS in the 50s (Pat Boone covered a bunch of black artists) and the most obvious two were when Andy Williams covered Charlie Gracie's BUTTERFLY--they were both number one within a week o each other and when non-singer Tab Hunter covered Sonny James' YOUNG LOVE. Marvin Garye REMADE Gladys Knight's I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE a year later. Keep up the good work!! Gary Stein
