Doxology Pleased with David Cook Credits for Eleanor Rigby Cover
We reported last week on American Idol David Cook The King of Covers Controversy about Doxology’s reaction to American Idol David Cook’s arrangement of “Eleanor Rigby” Song. In Short they were pissed, released a Press Release and wanted vindication, acknowledgment, and credit.
Last night on the 4-1-08 American Idol performance show in a segment with Host Ryan Seacrest, David Cook acknowledged Doxology along with others for his Cover arrangements to his Idol performances.

EW caught up with the Doxology boys and asked them a few questions. Here is an excerpt of the interview:
Did you know ahead of time that you’d be getting a shout-out?
We had no idea. We found out after the East Coast feed aired. Our drummer’s family lives in New York so he got a call from his mommy to tell him. She was excited. We watched the show, too, and were thrilled when [Ryan] Seacrest asked David about where he got his arrangements, but when he gave Doxology our long-awaited props, we were ecstatic.So you feel vindicated?
For sure. I feel like we chose to raise a point and it’s been acknowledged.Do you think you’ve set some sort of Idol precedent, where they’ll have to acknowledge future covers of covers?
I hope so. I can speak from experience, it takes a lot of thought and effort to go into someone else’s creation and try to make it your own. To do an original cover, a lot of people don’t understand how much work goes into that. It happened with Daughtry, but hopefully we made enough noise in saying that it’s only right to give credit where credit is due.
