Music legend Kenny Vance sits down with members of the Chantels, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Little Anthony & the Imperials, the Drifters, the Heartbeats, the Dubs and the Jive Five. They were some of the first teenage Black Rhythm & Blues artists who crossed over in the mid 1950s, and had mainstream hits, toured the north and south, appeared on national television, never made much money and influenced popular music to this day. Through intimate conversations and insights curated from eighty hours of verite footage, these seminal artists become our confidants, too, and we come to care as they bring their triumphs and tragedies to life.

“The film is an intimate portrait of the artists who made the music, an accessible window into a world that no longer exists. It’s Kenny Vance’s version of a tapestry of a sub-culture of artists without any formal training, working class kids who created the sound from the ground up, starting on the streets and in subways, borrowing from Gospel, Rhythm & Blues and early Rock & Roll. These are chapters in a story. And, together, they are the film.”
