Eight-years ago. Detroit radio lost its preeminent radio friend.
In retrospect, we pause, here, today. Honoring the memory of George L. Griggs, founder of Motor City Radio Flashbacks
_______________
We extend a sincere thank you to Mrs. Patti Griggs. This website, today, would not have been possible without your generosity, your contributions, your continuous love and your support.

Motor City Radio Flashbacks will resume its website operations on Thursday, November 3, 2022

This WKNR recording was donated to the Motor City Radio Flashbacks archive, some years back. Accordingly, it was given to this site by the contributor who personally recorded the program on reeled tape, in October 1969. Since then, the recording had been converted into a digitized file for audio preservation.
A Sunday evening presentation, it appears the program may have aired on WKNR AM and, most likely was simulcast on WKNR FM. You will note the recording sounds as though it may have been recorded off the AM band instead, hence the static heard throughout the program.
Also, without any degree of certainty, not clear whether this was the original WKNR broadcast which initially launched the ‘Is Paul Dead?’ controversy. The nameless donor, in sharing this recording expressed complete anonymity. He resides elsewhere outside the State of Michigan today.
