Keener 13

great radio – great music – great memories

Valentine Heartbreak

 Published Date: February 14, 2008

Valentine’s day is traditionally a time when we break out our favorite Keener love songs. The vast majority of the 2,756 records that charted on the WKNR Music Guide were poems inspired by Cupid’s arrow. But as Susan Whitall writes in her Detroit News blog, some of the more interesting musical tomes of the last 40 years focus on love gone bad.

The Keener Almanac

(1967) What Now My Love by Mitch Ryder is Keener's Key Song of the week. This marks producer Bob Crewe's attempt to re-cast the great Michigan rocker as a pop singer effectively derailing Ryder's career.
(1969) Hot Fun in the Summertime enters the Keener Music Guide at number 21.
