Product Description

Product Description

Emerging from the streets of America s north eastern cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore, Doo Wop took it s roots primarily from Blues and R&B to create an accessible vocal style which came closest to the mainstream pop style of the 1950s. AVIDs Essential Doo Wop Collection covers the early influential vocal groups such as The Orioles, The Clovers, The Imperials and The Platters. We then move on to cover the classic Doo-Wop years of the mid 1950s with a string of classic vocal performances. Opening with the Frankie Lymon classic, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, the fun continues with more classics by Dion & The Belmonts - I Wonder Why, The Spaniels - Goodnite Sweetheart Goodnite, The Five Satins - In Still Of The Night, The Crests - Sixteen Candles, The Penguins - Earth Angel, The Silhouettes - Get A Job (possibly the most popular Doo Wop song of em all) and many more. We also feature a host of not so well known names, many of them one hit wonders but boy what hits!! Take a listen to The Kodaks - Make Believe World, The Love Notes - Tonight, The Charts - Deserie, The Continentals - Fine Fine Frame and many more classics waiting to be discovered! So if you want to Dip Into Doo Wop, this is the place to start with AVIDs Essential Doo Wop Collection, a finely re-mastered 2CD set for your consideration!

5.0 out of 5 starsESSENTIAL IS THE WORD
By T.C. VINE VOICE on 1 July 2010
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Music from the classic years be it Ballads, Swing, Easy listening, Rock & Roll, Soul or Doo Wop had a certain panache which I guess is down to the fact that it was all fresh and comparing it to today`s music modern artists are disadvantaged in that way.This collection of Doo Wop greats seems to cover everything that you need from the Golden years. I have read quite a few books on Motown and these artists featured on this excellent double cd were parodied by the artists from Hitsville literally standing on street corners around Detroit singing these Doo Wop harmonies. Included in this set are songs by The Platters,Dion, Frankie Lymon & a big favourite of mine by The Cadillacs called Speedo.Also here is a track by The Moonglows which included a young Marvin Gaye pre Motown. Absent though is a song voted the all time doo wop song , The amazing Since I Don`t Have You by The Skyliners which incidentally you can collect on another double called American Graffiti from the 1974 film. Great stuff! Highly recommended & Great value.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat collection
By Seth Jones on 28 Mar. 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
It is pretty much guaranteed that you will sing along to this - there are some great old favourites and a couple of new songs that I was not familiar with, but they are already becoming popular car journey songs. If you like the music of this era you will love this collection.

4.0 out of 5 starsAll in all, a lot of super music
By geoffers on 5 Sept. 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Not everyone a gem, but as a whole this is a wonderful sweep across the genre. I discovered several tracks not heard before but are just great. All in all, a lot of super music. All short so if you don't like one, one you do like will be along shortly.

5.0 out of 5 starsMore valuable than the crown jewels
By Philip Fletcher on 22 Jan. 2011
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
If you still love Doo Wop(which is a million times better than Hip Hop) and you haven't got any in your collection, this 3CD compilation will make up for this glaring omission; I liked everything on it except the version of 'Little Darlin''
