Todays guest is Rock-N-Roll icon Kenny Vance. In the 60's, Vance founded "Jay and the Americans", who, along with "The Beatles" and "The Rolling Stones", was amongst the most successful group of that decade. Additionally, Vance has spent over 5 decades in the music business as a writer, performer and music director.

Kenny Vance has remained relevent over the years, on stage, on-screen, specifically as musical director on "American Hot Wax", the late 70's film about influential Disc Jockey Alan Freed.

Vance has made his mark on other period films such as "Animal House", "Eddie and the Cruisers" and "Hairspray". In the early 80's, Vance took another turn as a musical director, this time, for "Saturday Night Live".

In the 60's , Vance formed "Jay and the Americans", racking up numerous hits such as "Cara Mia" and "This Magic Moment".

FACT: "Jay and the Americans" opened for the first "Beatles" concert in New York in 1964 and a year later, for "The Rolling Stones" American debut.

At 63 years old, Kenny Vance is still going strong. He has been around since the beginning of the Rock-N-Roll era and fittingly, was included on the recent critically acclaimed "PBS Doo Wop Special".
