KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONGS

SPECIAL PREVIEW SCREENING! Killing Me Softly With His Songs is a musical documentary about the life and work of composer Charles Fox, known for pop hits such as "Killing Me Softly With His Song," "I Got A Name,” and "Ready To Take A Chance Again," as well as iconic television show themes for Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Love Boat and Wonder Woman. He is also the composer of numerous salsa records, which are so popular internationally that it’s a safe bet that even as you read this, someone somewhere is dancing to a Charles Fox mambo or pachanga.  The film follows Fox’s life and career from the streets of the Bronx to his education at the Fontainebleau music conservatory near Paris where he studied with the legendary composition teacher Nadia Boulanger (who taught Aaron Copland and Quincy Jones among many others), through his fabled career in Hollywood, and finally to Havana, Cuba where Fox “returns to his musical roots.”  Musicians featured with Fox include Common, Henry Winkler, Rita Wilson, Diane Warren, and Alexandre Desplat. This is a film that will have you up and dancing!  Featuring Q and A with Charles Fox and the director Danny Gold following the screening.
