Volume 1: Renegades – Into The Groove
<\/span>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 ’50s reveal how they borrowed from rhythm and blues, country, gospel, and jazz to create a whole new sound – rock and roll.  Listen for: Little Richard’s “Tutti-Fruitti,” and “Good GOlly Miss Molly, Elvis’ “Blue Suede Shoes, “Bo Diddley,” by Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry’s “Maybeline,” and “Johnny B. Goode,” and Jerry Lew Lewis’ “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.”<\/p>\n

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 “king of the surf guitar’ Dick Dale among others, this video recounts the era of sweet soul and girl groups when a new rock genius reigned – the producers.  Great songs include Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me,” and “Spanish Harlem,” the Drifters’ “There Goes My Baby,” the Shirelles’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” the Ronnettes’ “Be My Baby,” and the Beach Boys’ “Surfer Girl.”.<\/p>\n

Volume 2: Shakespeares in the Alley – Respect
<\/span>Shakespeares in the Alley looks at the towering influences of Bob Dylan and the Beatles on rock and roll and “folk rock”.  In this video: footage of Dylan and the Fab Four and interviews with Beatles producer George Martin, key Dylan session musician Al Keeper, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds and poet Allen Ginsberg.  Great songs include: the Beatles “She Loves You”, and “Eleanor Rigby”.  Bob Dylan’s “Subterraean Homesick Blues” and “Like A Rolling Stone,” and “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sounds of Silence,” Sonny and Cher’s I Got You Babe.”<\/p>\n

Respect chronicles the transformation of black gospel music into a defining sound for all Americans.  On hand to tell the tale: Berry Gordy Jr, Ray Charles, Martha Reeves, Mary Wilson, Booker T. and the MGs, Wilson Pickett, Maxine Powell of the Motown “Charm School,” Motown choreographer Cholly Atkins, and many more.  The program journeys from Detroit’s Motown Records to Stax Records in Memphis.  Last stop: the FAME studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where Aretha Franklin made musical magic.  Listen for: Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancing In The Street,” The Temptations “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” the Supremes “Where Did OUr Love Go?”, Wilson Pickett’s “In The Midnight Hour,” and Aretha Franklin’s “RESPECT”.<\/p>\n

Volume 3: Cross Roads – Blues in Technicolor
<\/span>Crossroads traces the blues – another African American tradition that changed the sound of rock and roll – from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago to the UK, where this earthy rich sound inspired a host of young British musicians bored with the pop music of the day.  Eric Clapton, John Mayall, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones and Jeff Beck tell how their hits introduced American rock fans to their own indigenous bues masters, like Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker.  Also in this video, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and Jimmy Page on Jimi Hendrix, the dawning of the guitar hero and the bird of heavy metal.  Memorable music includes: the Rolling Stones’ (“I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” the Animals’ “House of the Rising Sun,” Eric Clapton and Cream’s version of “Crossroads Blues,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Wild Thing,” and Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”.<\/p>\n

Blues in Technicolor takes viewers on a trip into psychedelic rock world of the late ’60s and early ’70s.  Using interviews with the Byrds, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Pink Floyd, this video shows how a bohemian folk culture based in San Francisco set off an international explosion of musical experimentation and eclecticism – much of it drug-inspired.  Listen for: “Eight Miles High,” by the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love and “White Rabbit,” the Beatles’ “All You Need is Love” and Pink Floyd’s “Arnold Layne”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volume 4: The Wild Side – Make It Funky
<\/span>The Wild Side tours through the rock and roll theatrics of the ’70s, when bands like the Velvet Underground, the Doors and David Bowie brough the decadent dramas of life in the underground into the limelight.  Take a walk down the darker side of the street in Los Angeles, New York, Detroit and Berlin with the Doors’ Ray Manzarek and producer Paul Rothchild, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Alice Cooper and Kiss’ Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.  Listen for Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side,” the Velvet Undergrounds “I’m Waiting for the Man,” the Doors’ “The End” and “Light My Fire,” David Bowie’s “Oh, You Pretty things,” and “Heroes,” and Alice Cooper’s “Eighteen.”<\/p>\n

Make It Funky Soul music stretches to create a rock and roll revolution in rhythm and attitude in the ’70s.  Innovators James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, George Clinton and famed bass players Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins take viewers on a tour of funk as the music becomes bolder and more expressive of the realities of black life.  Filmed in New York, San Francisco and Philadelphia, the pgoram also examines how funky dance hits blazed a musical trail to the disco-craze of the late ’70s.  Great songs include: Jame Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good)” and “Cold Sweat,” “Dance to the Music” by Sly and the Family Stone, Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff,” and “Flashlight” by George Clinton.<\/p>\n

Volume 5: Punk – The Perfect Beat
<\/span>Punk explores two late ’70s musical innovations: punk and reggae.  In New York, members of Blondie, Talking Heads, Television and the Ramones tell how they inadvertently created the cynical, urban sound that became punk rock.  In London, punk takes off with the Sex Pistols, and members of the Wailers and the Clash recall how Jamaican reggae crossed international boundaries, deeply influence punk and pop rock.  Listen for the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop,” Parri Smith’s “Horses”, Talking Heads’ “Psychokiller,” Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass,” the Sex Pistols’ “No Fun”, the Clash’s “London Calling,” and Bob Marley’s “Concrete Jungle.”<\/p>\n

The Perfect Beat begins at a time when megastars like Bruce Springsteen, and Metallica filled areas around the world and moves on to chronicle the rise of a new musical form: rap.  From Grandmaster Flash to Run-DMC, from De La Soul to British innovators New Order to the Beastie Boys, the program traces the evolution of this new sound in the ’80s and early ’90s.  The video shows how superstars like Madonna and Prince folded rap, techno and house, into their music, and how MTV ultimately embraced it.  Sound track includes “The Message,” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaata & Soul Sonic Force, Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” “Walk This Way” by Run DMC and Aerosmith, the Beastie Boys’ “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” and Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power”.<\/span><\/p>\n
