Streetlight Harmonies

From the late ‘40s through the early ‘60s, before the rise of rock and Motown, the smooth vocal sounds of doo-wop groups flowed from urban street corners and across racial lines to become a defining sound in American pop music. Archival performance footage combines with reminiscences from Little Anthony Gourdine, LaLa Brooks, Lois Powell, Jeff Barry, and others to retrace the form’s heyday and the acts’ challenges in touring the segregated South. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
