In July of 1964, Keener has cemented it’s reputation as the hottest rock n roll radio station in Detroit. The jock line-up looked included Frank “Swingin'” Sweeney, Robin Seymour, Jerry Goodwin, Gary Stevens, Bob Green and Bill Phillips. Every one would continue to make waves on the radio for years to come. For Gary Stevens, making waves would be literal when he graduated from Keener to, among other things, hosting a show on a pirate radio station that was bringing pop music to Great Britain.

But that was in the future. In this air-check, we hear Gary at the peak of his powers, complete with a pitch for Edgewater Park, the introduction of a new food product, “Dannon Yogurt”, a visit from the Wolly Burger, and a large helping of British Invasion talent including Billy J. Kramer and Peter and Gordon. Number one that week was a Motown smash from the Supremes.
