Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll

on BBC Two England

Presented by Jeff Bridges
featuring Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Kiss, Linda Ronstadt, Elton John, Dave Clark Five, Stevie Wonder The Who, Elvis Costello and David Bowie
Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll is the definitive story of the rock music phenomenon - a highly-entertaining chronicle of 25 years of music and youth in action. The basic ingredients of this special are those rarely-seen film performances that are the milestones of rock history - the greatest stars at their greatest moments. From the vaults of the major motion picture studios comes a wealth of classic footage on film and on tape. And, from a variety of independent sources, this visual history offers newsreel, cinema trailers, interviews, rehearsals and rare private footage.
Written by SAM EGAN , MALCOLM LEO and ANDREW SOLT Produced and directed by MALCOLM LEO and ANDREW SOLT
