FOREVER PLAID: On their way to their first big concert, a singing quartet the ‘Plaids’ are killed in a car accident. Due to the alignment of space and time, the Plaids are able to return to Earth for one final concert. In between telling the stories of their lives, the Plaids perform some of the greatest hits from the 1950s before returning back to Heaven.
THE TAFFETAS: It’s 1950-something, and these four singing sisters from Muncie, Indiana are making their national television debut on the Dumont Television Network’s Spotlight on Music! The Taffetas pays tribute to the sounds of The McGuire Sisters, The Fontane Sisters and The Chordettes. Opening Off-Broadway almost two years before Forever Plaid, The Taffetas made nostalgia what it is today! Spend an hour and a half with Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl and Donna, and remember what Sunday night television was like on your 12-inch black and white screen!
