Man oh man, to think Gene, Thurmon, Pee Wee, Tar Heel, Hadie, and David are alive and well on YouTube is one of the greatest things on the net, these guys were there long before "Doo Wop" was ever used to describe the Rhythm 'n Blues vocal group phenomenon...every r&b song you've listened to in your entire life, motown to rap and ALL stops in between, owe it to these guys and their contemporaries!

The Larks are one of the seminal groups in the transition from Jubilee gospel harmony singing to R&B and doo-wop. The Larks evolved out of the the seminal Norfolk Jubilee Singers, one of the great gospel groups of the first half of the 20th century, and later they evolved into another brilliant R&B group, the Five Royales...

Fantastic, thx a lot!
Not sure I'd call this doo-wop. This is an great example of a gospel style that pre-dates doo-wop by at least 30 years.
