The Man Who Wrote 1000 Songs & The Man Who Sings Them!
The first in a series of information and education films on Rocky Blumhagen and his Cole Porter music. Cole Porter wrote over 1000 songs. He is a major author of what has become called the Great American Songbook. In Part 1, Rocky tells his story and how he came to learn of Cole. We also see inside Kung Fu Bakery Recording Studios in Portland Oregon. Rocky and Ron Abel of Broadway fame, lay down the latest and greatest rendition of many of Porter's famed show and movie tunes. Put YOUR ear to Rockys' voice and training, Rons' futuristic scores and orchestration! Rocky sings on stage and in studio - FEATURING CUTS from his latest CD:
"Easy to Love" - ROCKY BLUMHAGEN Sings COLE PORTER.
Coming soon, Rocky Part 2 - Ron Abel, Hollywood to Broadway - his own stories of his rise to MIDTOWN ! The Kung Fu Oven and Orchestra with Cole Porter inspired art of the experience by Andrea Gabris. Listen to CD preview cuts as you watch the FilmWork Flyby list of 1000 songs. How many can you recall?
