Oh bang em`all in this thread please so were not drudgin`through loads of doo wap,plus them that like em`can easely find em`.

Doowop is one of my favourite non soul styles of music. Interesting how it gradually changed from the Orioles to the days of the doowop revival prior to the arrival of the Beatles and the British invasion of the American charts.

Quite a few doowop groups had a go at soul, e.g. Lee Andrews & The Hearts, The Charts (who remade Desiree as a soul song), Pookie Hudson & The Spaniels, the Del Vikings (hope that is the correct spelling) and others I can't think of now.

Also the Volumes had an American hit with I Love You prior to their more mainstream soul records.

I find the crossover between doowop and early soul very interesting.

Please post up some doowop, can't contribute myself due to computer problems but would like to hear the choices of others.

well thats three of us then - enough to fall foul of the law and be moved on by the police should we choose to congregate in a public place.

I will see if I can get some uploaded if not I will burn some to a CD.

I subbed for someone's doowop show recently. Because I collect soul I played early 60s stuff and not 50s stuff, so it might be of interest to people in this thread (I did already post this though):

Thanks for the sounds posted, great stuff, quite a few new to my ears.

Never Let Me Go is an old Johnny Ace song, it's been revived by the Impressions and Aretha Franklin among others.

Sorry I can't contribute any sounds at the moment, but when my PC problems are sorted out I will have a go.
