Doo-Wop's Greatest Hits / Various: Doo-Wop's Greatest Hits / Various - 180gm Yellow Vinyl (Vinyl LP)

Doo-Wop was and remains the most accessible of popular music formats. You don't need instruments, just tuneful voices, the ability to harmonise and a street corner on which to perform. Over 10,000 different vocal outfits are estimated to have recorded in the Fifties - be they black, white, Italian or Hispanic. Only a few practitioners like Dion DiMucci, lead singer with the Belmonts, would outlast the phenomenon to bloom in subsequent decades, but Doo-Wop's legacy would remain. In this collection, you will discover the foundations of popular music as we know it. From coast to coast, Doo-Wop ruled the Fifties - here it is at it's very best! 180gm yellow vinyl Blue Moon - the Marcels, Earth Angel - the Penguins, I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent - Frankie Lymon ; the Teenagers, Duke of Earl - Gene Chandler, In the Still of the Night - the Five Satins, Sixteen Candles - the Crests, A Teenager in Love - Dion ; the Belmonts, Since I Don't Have You - the Skyliners, Why Do Fools Fall in Love - the Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon, Get a Job - the Silhouettes, Sh-Boom - the Chords, Come Go with Me - the Del-Vikings, Little Bitty Pretty One - Thurston Harris, Book of Love - the Monotones, Little Darlin' - the Diamonds, I Only Have Eyes for You - the Flamingos
