VHS Movie Reviews of Girl Groups: The Story of a Sound [VHS]
Movie Review: A video love affair
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say about this video...well its my favorite. Having watched this video over a few dozen times from a copy of an orignal rental, I finally transferred it to dvd. The quality leaves alot to be desired, as the original copy was, by far not the greatest, but now I can view it without worrying about causing more damage to my original copy, if that makes any sense.
What really doesn't make any sense is that it has not been released as an official dvd release by MGM.
The musical presentations by the groups, whether in short clip form or in complete songs is just chilling. I get goosebumps when I hear and see the Ronettes perform "Be my baby", as the song begins you see Ronnie up front belting the song, then you see the other two girls, high above Ronnie come down the ramp. Both performing a highly sensual hip swinging walk and arm snap.
As mentioned previously, the Supremes portion was a little over done, but understandable, as per the review provided by the director and producer of the documentary.
If you grew up during this period and were a music listener as I was, with a soft touch for the girl groups, you will absolutely love this video.
As a final note, It is unfortunate that as I write this, one of the pioneers of the girl group sound, Phil Spector is as far away from the sound that he helped to create as any one of us.
