@TopshelfTom i envy my parents too. Funny i can listen to most old music and either like it or half like it. But 99% all music today just does very little for me

Sheesh, I've been a doo wop fan and singer for a long time. Heh heh. Always knew the trends would catch up to me. :) Thanks so much for posting this.
Just thinking too... many kids today have never really heard proper singing. It's all filtered, autotuned and manipulated. These folks could REALLY SING. Glad so many young folks are hearing this stuff!

Persian1Cat, yes, the key of C was simple enough so that all the chords could be sampled by testing them on a keyboard, even for instrument dummies, when we wrote our own songs. It was fun to do--say, a seventh and find out which guy could move to hit that note. It was an easy move for one voice and a stretch for another, but the flavor of the sequence would change depending upon which voice did that particular move. I would test it on a piano keyboard before bringing it to the guys.

@Walt1124 It is the C chord and the chord progession that is the foundation
of our music. When you hear that progression, you know what's coming
next.

Yeah I also should have been born in 1940s to live in 50s and remeber such music, cars, etc...

Take me to the fifties and let me stay there forever!

Athough, I was born in 1957, I still enjoy listening to the oldies music and oldies station. The singers look good for age (70 something).

Thanks for all the great memories... The clip of the Clovers bring back memories of that tight harmony era. Keep the good work up, Groups of the Past & Present!

"Doo Wop was better than Beatles" - golden words. Actually Beatles were the transition from Rockabily to ShitPop.
God this is so wonderful.... i'm 24 years old and have been a lifelong fan of oldies music....and always will be. My biggest regret is not getting to grow up in the era that these songs were popular. i envy my parents for growing up in this era, but they don't love this music like i do!
