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.
