Rock n `Roll Jacky

Rock n `Roll Jacky (1999 / WDR-ARTE / 60 Min.)

Germany’s oldest rock’n’roller is living as a welfare recipient in Berlin-Neukölln. In the past he used to be a ‘star’, had shaken hands with Elvis and performed with the Beatles. Today he is living on the poverty line, but is still performing with his band ‘Jacky and the Strangers’. His small but devoted following helps him to get through the adversities of everyday life.
