Man, Zappa put out this parody Doo Wop album entittled Cruising with Rueben and the Jets, it's some of the best stuff I've heard from the genre though the lyrics are very humouress, it's very accessible.

When I was a kid back in Bklyn, from my bedroom window I could hear the juke box from the local pizza place.
I would fall asleep at night listening to some of these tunes. VC already named my favorite.

I Only Have Eyes for You - The Flamingos (all time favorite)
There Goes My Baby - The Drifters (2nd all time favorite)
In the Still of the Night - The Five Satins (show doe show-be doe)
Oh What a Night - Dells
Daddy's Home - Shep & Limelights
Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop, Tears on My Pillow - Little Anthony & Imperials
Blue Moon - Marcels
Heart And Soul - The Cleftones
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go - Hank Ballard & the Midnighters
The Lion Sleeps Tonight - The Tokens
I'm So Proud - The Impressions

Some of the ones I can think of at the moment.
Thanks Harlepolis for taking me back hug

Zappa's really the only doo-wop I can fathom. I know it's a respected genre and all, but I just can't get with it...
