Rock Follies of '77

This was a brilliant series about a trio of young women who form a group, the Follies of the title, and become hugely successful. We follow their ups and downs as they perform on numerous tours and venues. The actresses actually sang to live music, quite an achievement compared to the boy and girl bands of today, who can only manage to mime during P.A.'s (Pah!). One of them, Julie Covington, had a solo number one hit in England during the '70s. Rula Lenska, a real life member of the Russian royalty, went on to star in many TV shows including Minder, among others.
