Roots of Rock & Roll - PROFILE: Doo Wop King Kenny Vance & The Planetones : Looking For An Echo
Posted on 12/12/2008 2:21:52 PM PST by JoeProBono
The man whose resume remains one of the best among early rock musicians continues to spread his love of the genre Kenny Vance has got it right. There is an intangible quality to doo wop music that isn't found anywhere else, and that quality, though it can't necessarily be named, is worth fighting for. "I'm in this genre, and I'm probably one of the only guys left that's making new music in this genre," says Vance, 64. "To me, the truth is, over the years this music is trivialized, by the press, by WFUV, whatever. But if you really listen to it, you realize it's not so simple, and it's not 'Grease.' You guys grew up thinking all 50's was The Fonz. It's not."

That was my very first car. It was mauve
, but not a convertible. I would have to go digging for that picture though.

“My FReepname is not after him though I enjoyed their music.”
I know. It’s the Soupy Sales Pookie. One of my favorite SS characters along with White Fang.
