Description:
The remarkable story of Doc Pomus, a pivotal yet often overlooked figure in American music, is finally told. Born Jerome Felder in Brooklyn, he overcame childhood polio to become a celebrated blues singer, adopting the name Doc Pomus. He then rose to prominence as one of the most influential songwriters of the early rock and roll years, crafting iconic songs like "Save the Last Dance for Me," "This Magic Moment," and "Viva Las Vegas," among many others. This documentary, driven by his daughter Sharyn Felder, features rare archival footage and interviews with a wealth of collaborators and friends, including Dr. John, Ben E. King, Joan Osborne, and Lou Reed, who reads from Doc's personal journals.
