Geffen started his career in the mailroom of a New York City talent agency by submitting a fake resume. In 1971, he founded Asylum Records and signed the Eagles, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and Joni Mitchell. Along the way, he had an affair with Cher (even though he was gay), was misdiagnosed with terminal cancer, and founded Geffen Records in the 80s, whose artists included Donna Summer, John Lennon, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, and Guns N’ Roses. In 1994, Geffen, Steven Spielberg, and Jeffrey Katzenberg created the legendary DreamWorks movie studios. Shep Gordon is the un-famous man that Rolling Stone magazine named as one of the most 100 influential people in music and movies. He’s also credited with creating the celebrity chef, which revolutionized the food industry. His clients include culinary legends, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse, Daniel Boulud and many more. He was the subject of the highly-acclaimed 2013 documentary, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.

A cover song is a new recording of a previously recorded song by someone other than the original artist. For example, "When Will I Be Loved" was written by the Everly Brothers, who had a top-ten hit with it in 1960. Linda Ronstadt covered the song in 1975, and her version was an even bigger hit peaking at No. 2. The best covers can truly reinvent a song – sometimes so much so that they become the definitive recordings. Otis Redding wrote “Respect” and recorded it first, but Aretha Franklin made the song her own. This class will feature great cover songs from rock, pop, and soul music from the 1960s up to today. You’ll hear the original songs and the cover versions, and learn the compelling stories about both the original artists and the performers who recorded the covers.
