I just watched this again on DVD - one of my favorite movies. Ray Sharkey plays Vinny Vacarro, a street-wise music producer who is looking for a "face" to perform his music. Loosely based on the life of Bob Marucci, who discovered, Frankie Avalon and Fabian. Peter Gallagher makes his big-screen debut, and this is Taylor Hackford's directorial debut.

In fact, Taylor "what a" Hackford's ONLY really good movie.

Pretty good film overall. Haven't seen it since its first release, but I thought it was well done.
