    1 Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop Once-in-a-lifetime reunion of music legends. Performers include Frankie Valli, Little Richard, Little Anthony & The Imperials, Fred Parris & The Five Satins, Lou Christie, Lenny Welch and many more! A simple song has the ability to transport any one of us back in time – and the lyrical and electric sounds of Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop do it better than almost any other genres! It evokes images of slow-dancing with your steady in the still of the night . crying to your “ex” that he don’t love you like I love you . or dreaming of happily-ever-after since I fell for you. WQED Pittsburgh and Rhino Entertainment, the world’s leading pop culture label, team up to present a musical event that is as close to time-travel as television allows! Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop was taped at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh – the Oldies Capital of the World – reuniting the original legends of Rock-n-Roll for a once-in-a- lifetime performance. Hosted by legendaries Frankie Valli, Jerry Butler (The Iceman), and Lloyd Price , the program also boasts a surprise appearance by Little Richard , who burns up the stage with an exhilarating performance of Keep A-Knockin’. “You’re never going to see a line-up like this again,” says T.J. Lubinsky, the program’s producer and mastermind. Lubinsky is a Doo Wop aficionado – which is not so unusual if you consider the fact that he’s the grandson of Savoy Records founder Herman Lubinsky. “These are the original performers, singing their biggest hits.
