Elton John, Phil Collins, Brian Wilson, Grace Slick, Joan Baez, Jon Bon Jovi, Paul Stanley, The Bee Gees, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, and Ringo Starr appear in the film as themselves, paying tribute to Radolini. It also features photographer Henry Diltz and actor Michael J. Fox. It is narrated by Dick Clark.

It was written by Paul Flattery, Bruce V. DiMattia, and Kenny Solms. It was produced by Paul Flattery and directed by Jim Yukich.

All the film's songs are taken from Willis' musical album The Return of Bruno except "No One's Home" by Bruce V. DiMattia and "Peter Gunn" by Henry Mancini.

The film was nominated for a 1988 ACE award (Award for Cable Excellence) (now known as CableACE Awards) in the category "Writing a Musical Special or Series."
