Amazon to Develop Animated and Live-Action Children's Series with The Roots' Passyunk Productions
"South Street Sounds" follows three friends growing up in the most musical of neighborhoods, where the birds tweet to a beat, every shop-keeper, pizza-maker and crossing guard dance perfectly in time, and having a bad day means literally singing the blues.
