The Hilltoppers
0.0/10
"In the 1950s, the Hilltoppers were one of America’s most popular singing groups. KET tells the remarkable story of four young men who met at WKU and became an international sensation."
Overview
Rich in archival performance footage, rare home movie clips and interviews with those who knew the group best – including the group’s sole surviving original member, Don McGuire – KET’s The Hilltoppers looks back at a magical period in American history when TV was new, juke boxes were all the rage and four Kentucky singers were at the top of the charts. In addition to McGuire, who shares first-hand memories of the group’s success, the program also interviews Ann Sacca, the widow of lead singer Jimmy Sacca, and Sacca’s son Jimmy Sacca Jr., who each reflect on the popularity and influence of The Hilltoppers’ music. Music historian Holly George-Warren is featured as well, offering insights on The Hilltoppers’ lasting legacy in American music history. The Hilltoppers is a KET production. Tom Thurman is producer/director. Shae Hopkins, Craig Cornwell and Teresa Day are executive producers.
