Rhythm & blues group harmony abounds with smooth lead tenors. Somehow the very essence of doowop is the contrast between the sweet lead and the more bluesy gospel-informed phrasing and harmonising in the background.
Didn't expect to see this. I have a DJ copy of this Lescay record. A very, very fine record it is. Barlow sang lead in the 1950's with the Crickets (a black vocal harmony group from the Bronx)and also with the Bachelors, then the Montereys.
Grover barlow is my grampa
