41. Cop Rocks

Fri Mar 30, 2012, 08:35 PM

Mar 2012

Musical.... cops on the beat that broke out into song.

I remember a particularly moving song involving a couple of cops on the beat walking thru a part of town with a lot of homeless ppl.

And another scene in the chief's office (maybe?) and the back wall slid out and three black gals broke into a wonderful motown sort of routine.

Wonderful voices.

And I really liked My World and Welcome to It, mentioned above.
