Marc Denis (radio personality)

Marc Denis (born February 19, 1953) is a Canadian bilingual (English-French) radio and television personality. Marc is known by his radio nickname Mais Oui, for his English-French switch-hitting Top 40 radio DJ style on Montreal English-language radio station CKGM, from 1974 to 1980.

Career

Radio

In 1968 Marc and his friends started college radio by the name of CBRV at Collège Bourget in Rigaud, Québec. This was followed by occasional stints for Marc at CJRC Ottawa and CKCH Hull, while he studied at the University of Ottawa. Marc derived inspiration from radio disc jockey Roger Scott whose style influenced him. Marc got his major break on Montreal English radio station CKGM in 1974. Going by the nickname of Marc "Mais Oui" Denis, he hosted bilingual English-French switch-hitting shows in Top 40 format until 1977 along with two other bilingual colleagues, Rob Christie and Scott Carpentier who joined him in 1975. The trio is known as La Connection Française and will appear on-air as a back-to-back unit until the departure of Carpentier in February 1977. After the trio broke up in 1977, Marc continued hosting evening shows on CKGM going by the name of Marc in the Dark until 1980. Marc also appeared on other French or English-language radio stations in Montreal during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, including stints at CJFM 95.9 on PM Drive, on CKAC 730 as host of La Fièvre du samedi soir, CKOI 96.9 as first producer-host of Le Décompte, at CFGL 105.7 as morningman of Les week-ends d’Hier à Aujourd’hui, on CFQR 92.5 (Q92) hosting Saturday Night Oldies (The New SNO) and as morningman on CINW 940, Montreal’s Greatest Hits of the 60s-70s-80s. Marc also hosted on-air in Toronto ON from 1997 to 2000, in English, on CJEZ 97.3 and, in French, on CJBC 860 in 2001 before returning and resuming his career in Montreal in 2002.

Denis

According to Christian tradition, Saint Denis (also called Dionysius, Dennis, or Denys) is a Christian martyr and saint. In the third century, he was Bishop of Paris. He was martyred, with his companions Rusticus and Eleutherius, in connection with the Decian persecution of Christians, shortly after 250 AD. Denis is said to have picked his head up after being decapitated, walked ten kilometres (six miles), while preaching a sermon of repentance the entire way, making him one of many cephalophores in hagiology. He is venerated in the Roman Catholic Church as patron of Paris, France, and as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The medieval and modern French name "Denis" derives from the ancient name Dionysius.

Life

Gregory of Tours states that Denis was bishop of the Parisii and was martyred by being beheaded by a sword. The earliest document giving an account of his life and martyrdom, the "Passio SS. Dionysii Rustici et Eleutherii" dates from c. 600, is mistakenly attributed to the poet Venantius Fortunatus, and is legendary. Nevertheless, it appears from the Passio that Denis was sent from Italy to convert Gaul in the third century, forging a link with the "apostles to the Gauls" reputed to have been sent out with six other missionary bishops under the direction of Pope Fabian. There Denis was appointed first Bishop of Paris. The persecutions under Emperor Decius had all but dissolved the small Christian community at Lutetia. Denis, with his inseparable companions Rusticus and Eleutherius, who were martyred with him, settled on the Île de la Cité in the River Seine. Roman Paris lay on the higher ground of the Left Bank, away from the river.

Denise (song)

"Denise" is a 1963 song by the American doo-wop group Randy & the Rainbows.

Original song information

Randy & the Rainbows worked with the producers of The Tokens, releasing the single "Denise" in 1963. The song spent seventeen weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching no. 10, while reaching no. 18 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles, and no. 5 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade.

"Denise" was written by Neil Levenson, and was inspired by his childhood friend, Denise Lefrak.

Charts

Blondie version

"Denis" (pronounced De-nee) was a 1977 gender-swapping cover of the song by the American new wave band Blondie. The cover of the song helped the band break into the international market. It featured on the band's second studio album, Plastic Letters (1978), and was the second UK single release by Blondie on Chrysalis records.

The initial Blondie version contained a verse with partly improvised lyrics in French by the group's vocalist Debbie Harry. Although Chrysalis insisted that the band re-record the song with a grammatically correct French translation, both the band and producer Richard Gottehrer preferred the first take. Harry stood her ground on the matter, and the version containing the "pidgin French" lyrics was released. The second, re-recorded version had its debut as a bonus track on EMI UK's 1994 re-issue of Plastic Letters.

    Famous quotes by Marc Denis:

    "We got off to a textbook first period, played the way we wanted. Unfortunately, for some reason we sat back and it definitely was not the way we wanted to end that game."
    "All of a sudden we're scoring goals. There's a feeling in this dressing room that no matter what the final score is going to be we can be on top."
    "We found our legs, we found our game, in the third period. That's what really matters. We got the game-tying goal. The rest of the way, we battled. You could probably put a question mark on the way we came out in this game, but in the third and in overtime our effort was second to none."
    "There's immense trust and confidence in our ability to come back in any game."
    "(Minnesota and Nashville) are definitely measuring sticks and they have been since we?re here. Realistically, Nashville has been in the league two years before us, and I think our organization would be thrilled to be where they are in two years."
    "This says a lot to come into this building and play the game the way we did, and I think we frustrated them at times."
    "They threw a lot of pucks and threw a lot of bodies, and hacked and whacked. It was a battle in front of our cage the whole night."
    "I'm a big fan of the shootout right now because I'm 2-0 and I've stopped all five shots I've seen."
    "I was glad I could face one of the best players in the NHL 1-on-1 to decide the game, that's a thrill right there. That's why the shootout is such a big deal with the fans and that's why I think the players are fans of it too."
    "I was glad I could face one of the best players in the NHL one-on-one to decide the game, that's a thrill right there. That's why the shootout is such a big deal with the fans and that's why I think the players are fans of it too."
