Billy Terrell: From the Brill to the Brink and Back!
BILLY TERRELL: FROM THE BRILL TO THE BRINK AND BACK! is an emotionally uplifting autobiographical program with music and anecdotes that chronicles the chapters of Mr. Terrell's life as a songwriter during the heydays of the Brill Building in New York, music producer, stand-up comedian and decorated Vietnam War veteran. It also reveals his deeply personal experiences at Mang Lang Orphanage, which as a soldier, he helped re-build in Tuy Hoa, Vietnam. The orphanage still operates, and during a recent return trip there Billy was briefly reunited with the nun who ran the orphanage in 1966, as well as with several disabled adults who were children at that time. Footage from the reunion and personal interviews will be featured in the upcoming 2-hour documentary series on PBS, "The Other Side of War."
Billy recently celebrated his 50th year in the music industry. He has also toured as a stand-up comic for the past 28 years. Proceeds from this performance will help defray pre-production costs for the documentary series, which is targeted to air on PBS in November, 2015 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the official end of the Vietnam conflict.
