  • 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.

  • dont worry...THIS IS DOOWOP ;-) i think doowop started in the fourtys begin fifties ?!

    BUT..its great music , whatever you wanna call it ;-)

  • elBopper could you publish the lyrics along with the video? I'm stuck on this pwerformance. Cool guys!

  • You can find it on google ?! i dont have it..sorry

  • I have seen many movies and this is the best doowop ever !! I even post it myself hahaha

  • what year was this, does anyoned know. I'd say mid fifties but i could be wrong. love this.

  • it was in 1956, so your right about that ;-)

  • 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!

  • tell me Elvis wasn't influenced by that voice. classic

see all

  • louis armstrog's version of this great, but this is a whole new level of awsome

  • 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...

  • @nickvanzetti You must have been reading my mind, Nick. Elvis clearly borrowed from these guys.

  • This group os baaaaaaaaaaad! (as in good that is)
