A brisk documentary that takes us from Gospel close harmony singing as it morphed into pop music, covering The Inkspots through doo wop, Motown and The Beach Boys to En Vogue and *NSYNC.

Product Description:
Director/co-writer Brent Wilson's documentary examines the oft-overlooked legacy of Doo-Wop, the R&B genre that attained peak popularity in the early 1960s. By using restored archival footage and interviews with several musicians – including Lance Bass, Brian Wilson, and Jon "Bowzer" Bauman – it explores how its musical styling was innovated by young African-American singers and went on to influence mainstream acts such as NSYNC and The Beach Boys.
