IMHO, i've been watching this snoozer of a movie for about 40 minutes with a little from chuck berry but when Jackie wilson sang the screen lit up a bit. Jackie wilson really had a talent! Haven't seen Ritchie Valens, I'm sure he's cool in this too.
Rock-n-roll promoter Alan Freed holds a talent search to develop a new rock star, then must find the elusive, mystery contestant (Jimmy Clanton) who doesn't know he has won.
