Doo Wop was one of the most popular genres of rock & roll and R&B in the late '50s. Doo wop artists were vocal groups, with each singer in the group taking a different part that interweaved with the other singers. Frequently, the backing vocalists sang nonsense words as rhythm, and the genre's name derives from this trait. Most doo wop groups started as a cappella bands, performing without instrumental accompaniment. The hit doo wop singles inspired countless teenagers to form their own a cappella groups, though many of them were never recorded. Despite its a cappella origins, few doo wop records were made without instrumental backing. Doo wop faded away in the early '60s, though its influence was felt throughout popular music in the following decades. | |

I love Doo Wop. My parents grew up on this music and my father used to sing doo wop, so that's ALL MY MOM & DAD PLAYED IN THE HOUSE. lol They even flew to a taping of one of those PBS Doo Wop specials in Pittsburg a few years ago.
These are some of my personal favorites: 
The Spaniels / Goodnight, Sweetheart (1954) 
The Shirelles / Baby It's You (1961) 
The Skyliners / Since I Don't Have You (1959) 
The Essex / Easier Said Than Done (1963) 
The Dovells / Bristol Stomp (1961) BTW, here's a YouTube clip of one of these tunes :: http://www.youtube.com/wa...Do9yYSuzkk ... [Edited 4/3/07 1:11am] | |

I'm going to this show on the 14th in Atlanta:
It should be a lot of fun, however I am unsure how many of the performers are actually 'original' members of each group.  "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."
