The El Dorados didn't enjoy sustained success or notoriety and really weren't a top-echelon doo wop group. They did make one superb song in 1955: "At My Front Door" is a landmark of the genre; it had every ingredient, from a simple, catchy theme to first-rate harmonizing and Pirkle Moses' finest lead. The El Dorados made many other good tunes, and an occasionally inspired one like "I'll Be Forever Loving You" or "A Fallen Tear," before quitting Vee-Jay in a money dispute and subsequently disbanding. Almost their entire output is available on this 25-song reissue. It's a chance for fans to revisit triumphs and newcomers to hear why they did have a brief time in the spotlight.

Thank you RYP and Gyro'66 for double shot of Doo-Wop you have given us today! The El Dorados, beautiful post. Good guys, Nico'50.
Gyro and RYP, thanks for this classic group...always great.
Had a tooth extracted today. The dentist is a listener of 'indie' music. Every band played and sang off key! It was impossible to grit my teeth with my mouth wide open. Got home to sooth my frazzled ears with sweet doo-wop harmonies, the beautiful, beautiful real voices that no Mac computer ever touched. What a deep and wide pool of talent. How I miss this music. Thanks to all who saved my remaining teeth. They and I give you deepest thanks and respect.
@ Lil'ol'lady
What a great story.
You created a visual that could be made into a movie...
Thanks Gyro
