Save the Last Dance for Me
Save the Last Dance for Me… has always been my most favorite song. So watching the documentary which gave me an insight into why and how and for whom the song was written was a wonderful journey. Doc Pomus also wrote many songs Elvis fans would be familiar with. The Flaming Star movie, starring Elvis song was also written by Pomus. As was Little Sister and Suspicion But mostly it was the tenderness of this documentary and its portrayal of Doc Pomus that had me in tears. What a wonderful tribute to a great soul and song writer. Anyone looking to learn more about the history of rock n roll, or the blues this is must see documentary.

The story of the singular and remarkable life of the man behind some of the best known rock and roll songs
This film is a work of art…about a man who got dealt , in many ways, a lousy hand . Lesser men would have stayed in their room, their neighborhood, and not confronted the pain. Doc was not that man. And from his pain, his longing, his love, he wrote some of the most beautiful songs ever….sang the blues with the heart of someone who has known what it is to be on the outside…and with his love ,caring, compassionate nurturing soul made lifetime and devoted friends of some of the most amazing talents of the day. I have seen this film 5 times. I cannot wait to see it again. Doc had extensive notes, photos, diaries, writings and his daughter, Sharyn Felder saved these and found Peter Miller and team….and the result is a labor of love. Visually and aurally it is MAGIC. the film editing by Amy Linton is beyond masterful . It is so totally involving. Bring some tissues…and an open heart….and go back into the world….grateful for this man, his music, his Spirit….the people who were committed to telling his remarkable story.
