The Doo Wop Sound - A Collection - By Dora Sofia Caputo
SECOND PLACE WINNER in the Retro contest - December 2019 -
This is an image of a few of my husband's LARGE Doo Wop record collection. Here is a little history on the Doo Wop sound:
"The dawn of the rock and roll era was signaled by the vocal group sound. To many Doo Wop, a vocal group style, "was" rock and roll. The vocal group sound placed melody over rhythm, the song over the singer and a blending of voices over individual personality or style.
Vocal group singing was the most popular style of rhythm and blues in the early 1950's, the first music to be called "rock & roll" and the favorite of the the teenagers and disc jockeys.
Its been said that there were 15,000 Doo Wop groups that recorded at least one record. While that might been an exaggeration certainly a few thousand that did. Hundreds of those had hits, but were found a second one to be elusive. Many would spend a few years trying. The same qualities that made them initially successful would doom them. Youth and inexperience caused them to make bad business decisions. As they married and started families came responsibility and they no longer could chase their dreams".
