BTO, Cohen Among Canadian SOCAN Winners
Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Leonard Cohen, and Dan Hill are among the winners at the 2008 SOCAN Awards. The Canadian copyright organization honored BTO's "Roll On Down the Highway," Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan" and "Suzanne," and "Hill's "Carmelia" as SOCAN Classics, meaning the tunes have accumulated at least 100-thousand spins on Canadian radio. The event also recognizes the songs that received the most attention in 2007 from stations north of the border, and Rascal Flatts' cover of Tom Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway" is among the winners in the country category. The 2008 SOCAN Awards took place in a ceremony in Toronto Monday night. |
