Johnny O'Keefe on recording 'Shout'
Title:
Johnny O'Keefe on recording 'Shout'
NFSA ID
525121
Year
1977
Johnny O'Keefe talks with ABC Radio's Terry Malcolm in 1977 about recording 'Shout' in the 1950s. They discuss changes in recording techniques, with O'Keefe telling an entertaining anecdote about placing a speaker in the women's toilets to obtain the desired echo sound on the record. He also candidly admits that the song was written in such a high-pitched key he felt he only had one chance to get it right in the studio.
