Description
Summary:Renegades travels southern backroads to New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville then north to Chicago, interviewing Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, pioneer disk jockey Hoss Allen and producers Dave Bartholomew, Sam Phillips and Phil and Marshall Chess along the way. These renegades of the 50's reveal how they borrowed from rhythm and blues, country, gospel and jazz to create a whole new sound--rock n roll.
In the groove reports on the years between Elvis and the Beatles, when the hit single became an intricately crafted work of art and producers, songwriters and musicians created studio magic. In interviews with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Ben E. King, Brian Wilson, Carole King, Sonny Bono and Dick Dale among others, this film recounts the era of sweet soul and girl groups when a new rock genius reigned--the producer.
