Hey do you remember the Think Summer campaign Keener launched in Detroit in the winter of 1965?

Well, let’s see . . . .  I can still see those Think Summer newspaper ads. And there were those Think Summer button giveaways. There was also a Think Summer contest as well. Recall seeing a few of those Think Summer billboards WKNR posted around town. And then there was that one Think Summer song, yeah . . . that was playing on the radio, on Keener 13!

According to the WKNR music guides posted on Keener13.com, Think Summer by Susan Wayne debuted during the week of February 18, 1965. But by the time Think Summer peaked at the No. 25 spot on WKNR, March 3, 1965, thereafter, that would be it . . . just three weeks on the Keener 13 playlists in short order.

But that was enough for WKNR to generate an imaginary kind of ‘mirage,’ if you will, a brief winter’s thaw we must have felt, at least momentarily, during the station’s contest they off-loaded with that one, huge “summertime” give-a-way at the time.  If all else, the Think Summer event became the ultimate radio event during that cold winter here in Detroit, 59-years ago.

Straight from the Keener vaults, and courtesy of WKNR legend, Bob Green. We are showcasing two of those WKNR Think Summer promos (audio under each ad). All from that memorable winter’s brief “summer-time fun” contestants cashed in on while listening to Keener 13 during those two winter months in early-1965.

And at date, we are just nine days away from spring, so . . . .
