FLAC tracks | Rock, Pop | 2:34:48 | 652 MbDoo-Wop has been hailed as the provider of street corner symphonies, though in the main, the genre was based around simple songs, but delivered in a manner that suggested they reflected the very hopes and lives of those who performed them.
And, in many cases, that was nothing but the truth.
One heart- felt acapella anthem, heard by the right contact, and any group of kids from the various ghettoes could make it to stardom and living of the highflying kind, albeit, very often for the briefest of moments.
It may be true that doo-wop had largely been relegated to the nostalgia heap and that many of its protagonists have been forgotten.
But as this compilation so ably proves, the music still remains fascinating and relevant.
