Cliff Edwards formed Canada's first pop sensation, The Bells, in 1965 with his future wife, Ann Ralph, and her sister Jacki Ralph-Jamieson. Together, with Doug Gravelle and Gordie McLeod, The Bells quickly took our country by storm.
The Montreal-based group had a handful of wistful, dreamy hits – “Moody Manitoba Morning,” “Fly Little White Dove Fly,” “Music Box Dancer” – in Canada before making it big stateside with 1971’s single “Stay Awhile.” They became the first Canadian act to play New York City’s Copacabana Club.
The documentary Stay Awhile, which premiered at the Whistler Film Festival last December, outlines the eight years The Bells were together, their eventual split, and the creation of the television variety program, The Cliff Edwards Show. It’s told from the perspective of Cliff and Ann’s youngest daughter, Jessica, who also directed the film.
Stay Awhile plays select Cineplex theatres as of April 27.
