Join us on the latest episode of the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast as we sit down with inductee Kenny Vance to discuss his documentary, "Heart & Soul: A Love Story." In an intimate conversation with host Tom Needham, Vance takes us on a journey through the world of Doo-Wop, exploring the vocal harmony masterpieces created by teenage artists in the 1950s and 60s. This genre, now fast fading from history, formed a crucial bridge to today's popular music and youth culture.
Kenny Vance, a multi-platinum singer/musician and debut director, captures the essence of this era with verité footage shot over decades. His film showcases how young, diverse street artists—Vance's friends and fellow performers—broke new ground by singing in harmony, ultimately changing the course of music and culture. As a teenage co-founder of the iconic Sixties pop group Jay & the Americans, Vance brings a unique perspective to the stories and lives of the artists featured in his documentary. Tune in to hear the heartfelt stories of the music and its makers, told in their own words.
