KET presents: The Hilltoppers

Enjoy a free screening of KET’s documentary The Hilltoppers, featuring interviews with member Don McGuire, members of Jimmy Sacca’s family, Kentucky writers Bobbie Ann Mason and Ed McClanahan and music historian Holly George-Warren.

The Hilltoppers created a sound that defined romantic music for a generation of teenagers during the mid-1950s, scoring 21 Top 40 hits. Combining the lead vocal stylings of Jimmy Sacca with rich harmonies and a clean-cut image, they rode the last wave of teen pop music to the top of the charts before the arrival of rock ‘n’ roll.

This event is free to attend, but registration is encouraged.
