From harmony to heartbreak, inside the world of the early, unsung heroes of rock & roll whose voices shaped the music that endures.

The Chantels, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Little Anthony and the Imperials, the Heartbeats, the Dubs, the Jive Five — these early doo-wop greats were some of the first teenage rhythm and blues artists who crossed over, 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, the triumphs and tragedies of these seminal artists come to life.
