"Over-The-Top Doo Wops" Vol. 1: Let The Old Folks Talk

This is a fine collection of well-written and sung doo wop from the golden age of the sound. Completely obscure acts make up the roster, but each one is good enough to give the A-list doo wop heroes a run for their money. The collection is must for a devoted doo wop fan or anyone who's into good-time music and wants to expand their musical horizons. (Tim Sendra, Allmusic)In the early heyday of Rock 'n' Roll, the music we now know as Doo-Wop had just come of age. From the street corners of Harlem and Detroit, Baltimore and St. Louis, and stretching all the way to Los Angeles, San Francisco and beyond, the art of vocal group harmony was undergoing a process of constant experimentation and refinement through the efforts of young hopefuls looking to make their mark in the field of popular music.

Thank you Gyro, Chi-Town & Jake for the Doo Wop. Great collection that I've never heard. And thank you for the booklet scans. I gotta have something to read while I'm listening to new music.

Thank you for the Doo Wop compilation. I like a varied assortment of music but doo wop is like a comfortable old sweater that you always go back to.
