About this event
Heart & Soul: A Love Story takes us on an intimate journey of the artists and the impact of Doo-Wop, the vocal harmony masterpieces of teenage artists from the 1950s and 60s, fast fading from history, that formed the bridge to today’s popular music and youth culture. Much of the footage is verite, shot on the scene over the decades, by multi-platinum singer/musician and debut director, Kenny Vance. His film shows how these young, diverse street artists - his friends and fellow performers - broke new ground, creating harmony by singing as one, and ultimately changing the course of music and culture.
As a teenage co-founder of the iconic Sixties pop group, Jay & the Americans, Vance shared the stories and lives of the community of artists in this film. Viewers will hear the story of the music and the makers in their own words.
Featuring: Frankie Lemon & the Teenagers, The Jive Five, Little Anthony & The Imperials, Phoebe Snow & Kenny Vance, The Heartbeats, Cleveland Still, Arlene Smith, The Chantels, and Jay & the Americans.
(2023, 1 hr 31m, Director: Kenny Vance)
