BANG! The Bert Berns Story (DVD)

Description: Music meets the Mob in the acclaimed documentary, narrated by Stevie Van Zandt, about the life and music of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame songwriter and record producer Bert Berns. His hits include “Twist and Shout,” “Hang On Sloopy,” “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Under The Boardwalk,” “Everybody Needs Somebody To Love,” “Cry Baby,” “Tell Him,” “Cry To Me,” “Here Comes The Night” and “Piece of My Heart.” He helped launch the careers of Van Morrison and Neil Diamond, and produced some of the greatest soul music ever made. BANG! not only unearths this previously untold chapter of music history, but throbs with a pulsating soundtrack in this jolting, absorbing life story. "Juicy stuff here...an astonishing parade of interviews...You'll love this movie." - The New York Times Filmmaker Brett Berns brings his late father’s inspirational story to the screen through interviews with those who knew him best and rare performance footage. Included in the film are interviews with Ronald Isley, Solomon Burke, Ben E. King, Van Morrison, Keith Richards and Paul McCartney. Following a world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival and a US theatrical release that earned 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, BANG! The Bert Berns Story is now available on DVD. The All Region DVD includes an hour of Bonus Interviews and a 4-panel insert. "The film unfolds like a Hollywood noir. Guns, pills, booze, greed, betrayal, and a little 'schlepping' are all part of the story. BANG! is sure to stir your emotions and stick in your head for some time, just like one of Bert Berns' classic records." - The Observer "This superb documentary sheds light on a shadowy figure who had an outsized influence on the early days of rock and roll." - Forbes "The story is arresting, and if that's all BANG! offered, that would be enough. But BANG! does more." - San Francisco Chronicle 5 Stars - Mojo Magazine
