Doo Wop is an early form of popular music comprised of a simple style of harmony singing, born off the urban streets, that has captured the musical hearts and souls of countless artists. Guns 'N Roses, The Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, and most recently Lauryn Hill have all paid homage to Doo Wop's importance in their musical development. This documentary takes a look at the history and development of Doo Wop and how it continues to influence Pop music today. Little Anthony, The Platters and The Temptations to name a few were the original Doo Wop artists who all became huge international stars. The endearing lyrics of young love and romance which have always been an integral part of Doo Wop music continues to sell records and be heard regularly on the radio.

In the mid-80s, three women (each with an attorney) arrive at the office of New York entertainment manager, Morris Levy. One is an L.A. singer, formerly of the Platters; one is a petty thief from Philly; one teaches school in a small Georgia town. Each claims to be the widow of long-dead doo-wop singer-songwriter Frankie Lyman, and each wants years of royalties due to his estate, money Levy has never shared. During an ensuing civil trial, flashbacks tell the story of each one's life with Lyman, a boyish, high-pitched, dynamic performer, lost to heroin. Slowly, the three wives establish their own bond.
