Doo-Wop sensation Kenny Vance recalls rolling with The Stones

Kenny Vance had his first musical success at 15 years old – and then went on to record 15 albums with his doo-wop vocal group Jay and the Americans. In their heyday the group opened for The Beatles’ first US performance, but Mr Vance tells us the story of a different concert they played: the NYC debut of some band that he didn’t think was very cool at the time, called…The Rolling Stones. (Kenny’s new band, Kenny Vance and the Planotones, is currently on tour supporting their album Acapella.)
