The docu-series, titled The Reign, Ruin, and Resurrection of Soft Rock, will dive into all of the phases the music genre has gone through so far. Furthermore, it will transport viewers on a nostalgic trip to the colorful and exhilarating world of Soft Rock music, as well as provide them with insights into the lives of famous performers affiliated with the genre. Van Toffler, CEO of Gunpowder & Sky, told Variety magazine about the Paramount+ documentary series:
“You may trash, slam, and disparage soft rock all you want, but I’m sure you know every song in the Hall & Oates discography,…Personally, I’m glad that youth are now learning about the Carpenters and Michael McDonald’s qualities via their sampling in modern hip-hop.”
