Fan CastingDedicated to the One I Love

Set against the backdrop of the rapidly changing cultural landscape of the 1960s and 1970s, this miniseries chronicles the life of Doris Coley Kenner Jackson. As one of the founding members and lead singers of the Shirelles, Doris made history as part of the first all-female group to achieve widespread success in the male-dominated music industry. The series begins with Doris's early life in Passaic, New Jersey, and her fateful collaboration with friends Shirley Owens, Beverly Lee, and Addie "Micki" Harris. Together, they navigate the challenges of fame as Black women in a segregated America, scoring hits like “Dedicated to the One I Love” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow.” The narrative explores Doris’s complex relationship with her fellow Shirelles, her decision to step away from the group in 1968, and her personal journey of love, family, and faith through two marriages. Her eventual return to the Shirelles in 1975, after Shirley Owens’ departure, reveals the unbreakable bond between the women and their shared legacy.
