Episode Synopsis

Duck. JT. Eddie Kane (King). Dresser. Choirboy. Big Red. Jimmie. Eleanor. Baby Doll. Brotherhood. Loyalty. Race. Class. Black Arts. The Dells. The Temptations. Positive Black men in film. A classic for the culture. The Five Heartbeats.
In 1991 when Robert Townsend set out to create a film that was an ode to the Black music groups of the 1960's, he had no idea that he was creating a film that would be ingrained in American cinema and adored by all cultures for decades.
The Five Heartbeats is a film that brings together generations. From the repeated one-liners "My office hours are from 9 to 5" to the scenes that we always reenact... this was the perfect way to kick of Black Music Month!
