DVD Reviews of Rock N Roll's Greatest Teen Idols
DVD Review: A RARE chance to see some late 50s, early 60s rockers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been watching a series of DVDs produced in the UK by Quantum Leap - and distributed in US by MVD which consist of live performances recorded in the late 1980s (?) at the Lil' Darlin nightclub in Orlando. Some - like Mary Wells and the Shirelles - have been pretty good. The backing band did a nice job of recreating. The DVDs are usually short and have other acts filling in.
This volume is the BEST of the lot. It not only has the most performances - over 75 minutes! - but the most obscure artists. These are guys I haven't seen perform since - in most cases - the EARLY 60s!
Here are just some:
Ray Peteresen
Buddy Knox
Jack Scott
Tommy Sands (a BLONDE!)
Lenny Welch
Joey Dee
Troy Shondell!
Frankie Ford
Tommy Roe
They supplement these Lil' Darlin performances with footage from the 50s film "Rock Pretty Baby" with Frankie Lymon
And then as a bonus they list "Paul Anka - Lonely Boy" which is the fascinating 25 minute documentary made by the CBC in about 1957! The complete film is here!
This one is really interesting. I knew many of these artists when I was doing Record Hops in Trenton in 1960-62 and it's amazing to see them recorded more than 20 years later (and watching them nearly 40 years after their hits).
Quirky but definitely a must for those who remember late-50s, early-60s rock and roll!
