The scene is the corner of Spring Street and West Broadway in Soho, Manhattan, weekends, afternoons, where soul doo wop R & B golden oldies cover band Select Blendz regularly comes to entertain locals, shoppers and visitors from all lands with retro songs nobody can forget. For years they have been raising the vibe in a neighborhood best known for designer clothes, selling their CDs and playing for change. Without any amplification and only a bass, the music carries all along the block and has everybody jumping. Billy C. takes the lead for this cover of "Get a Job" a 1957 hit for the Silhouettes, the first black act to take the stage of the white teenage TV show "American Bandstand."
