Mr Moonlight :) Please, what browser extension or software did you use to construct this wonderful timestamp list. I would like to do the same with some other multi-song videos.
@@realwildchild0000 Hello. Honestly, I did it the old fashioned way (the only way I know how to do things): I just noted the song title & performer, saw at what time the song began, and wrote it on a sheet of paper. Once I had the whole list, I typed it as a comment.
I listen again and again as long as I live. I just can't get enough of the oldies from the 50's and early 60's and I click on the thumbs up sign on several of you here because I know how you feel when you say Doo Wop brings tears to your eyes. Songs that had meaning and made all us teens feel sad, sentimental, cheery, fall in love and more. I am 83 my memories are remembering those times and I feel the sadness in my gut that such songs are gone.
Couldn't have said it better myself ✊ I lost my 19yr girlfriend 30yrs ago, and my heart is STILL broken 💔😢... These songs, although beautiful, are BITTER-SWEET especially "The Love You Gave", and "It Hurts"
@@williamscampton7183 Amen to that...23 years as a DJ mostly Doo Wop, I learned a lot about the music, the nuts and bolts as well as an abiding love of it.. and I only scratched the surface....to you, my friend...you can always learn more....
i dont care what anyone says those were the days i know i was there many many masterpeieceswasnt about drugs money power but true love words you could understand and had meaning DOO WOPS THE BEST
I'm 80 as well. And i have the same reactions. The music takes e back instantly and it is a unique realization that generations following have a complete dead space that this ever occurred. You and I are fortunate yet can't really pass on this warm and tender experience that would be so valuable for those we love.
I Love all these Doo Wops, I recorded them & I listen to them all of the time, I always listen to oldies and collected them since I was 14 yrs, I’m 61 now… I have thousands of Oldies & doi wops, I’ll always love them forever❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
Usted Sra.y su esposo qué disfrutaron muy juntos de estas bellas melodías, él era muy feliz al escucharlas con una emoción distinta a otras.Usted,retorne a ese pasado tan luminoso,y sea feliz;ya qué lo inolvidable qué vivimos,queda danzando cerca de quiénes amamos y disfrutamos de bellos momentos ¡ Sea una mujer alegre cómo antes, qué será para SIEMPRE !
I too lost my soul mate. 46 yrs. She loved the old tunes and of course Elvis. This obscure music is awesome can't get enough of it. The best music I've ever heard is music I never heard. I have tons of this and willing to share it. Enjoy and GOD bless. JESUS is LORD.
🎶🎵 Born in 1947.....Lived through some of the Best music ever...Still listening today....50s 60s was my era....Magical memories will remain in my Heart ♥️ Always.....♥️
I was born in 1948, baby boom war baby. I did not realize that in the 1950-60’s, it was the high mark of American music. Can’t stand popular music today. Keep going back to the music of my teenage days. I even have grown to like classic country music from the 1960-90’s. Those were the days my friend.
At 77 alll I can say is that I've lived through the greatest episode of worldly activities that has ever taken place in the history of the world and music has been one of the ones that we all experienced, in the same way the Renaissance was to the Arts. This period of our lives and the music surrounding us, is the historic era of Renaissance of Music in our lifetime. Highlighted for all time by the phenomenon of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. and some of the greatest singers in. the world. We are certainly one fortunate generation.
Good Lord! this sure brings me back to my youth. I'm 84 now and it's a shame the music of today, I'll just say it, SUCKS. No passion or feeling or slow dancing. Everyone wants to be an individual and not a pair. I wish I could relive those times but alas, my time is almost finished here in this crazy world. RIP to genuine fun and togetherness.
I'd like to think about leaving this world doing the stroll and grinning from ear to ear! Because surely heaven holds a place where we're all when and where we want to be.
@@dennisdowns2988 : It is way beyond being called music as well. I'm 81 now and been through all the genres from Big Band/Sinatra which my dad used to play, Elvis/Little Richard, Doo Wop, The Beatles (you get the idea) to the present day and in my opinion the music stopped in the early 90s.
I was born in 1959 and this music was still playing on the jukeboxes. It was during 1973 when American Graffiti was in the theaters that this type of music was being listened to by us younger baby boomers. 🎉
I’m 72 years old and I have a hobby of finding the music from my youth and just thinking back to those days and remembering what a great time it was to grow up.
The music industry today has gone down the pan with so many untalented people talking their way through a song , thank goodness for good old days when music was great keep it coming
There's a bitter sweet memory worth listening to. Hope there's a do-wop heaven. If it weren't for music, I wouldn't have a memory. "Need You" is sooo soothing.
I GREW UP IN THE ROCK N ROLL ERA I WAS BORN IN 1949 LISTENED TO ALL THE 50"S 60"S 70"S 80"S THE MUSIC IN THE 2022 CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO WHAT I GREW UP IN ROCK N ROLL ERA. WE HAD FUN IN THOSE DAYS MISS EM ALL. I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN 1967 . I AM 73 NOW .
I'm a 49er and still a musician but I masqueraded as a soldier a printer ,truck driver, Security and over 40 years in education...to relax I play guitar and listen to the decades of sound!
I,m almost 82 i grow up with rock'n' roll music specially '60s i've played in 2 rock bands guitar and bass,its wonderful remember those times.R'nR for ever!
Looking at these unfamiliar labels sparked a memory of why they looked so familiar to me. I was a kid in the 50's with older sisters. I remembered why we would end up with records from these labels. My dad use to get them from the owner of a little snack shop that was across the street from where my Dad worked in Chicago. He would give them to my Dad after they were no longer needed in the Juke Box. It was my Dad's dream to own that little snack shop which he eventually did across the street from Schurz High School in Chicago. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory of my childhood.
These songs are a wasteland in the midst of the chaos we live in today. I was born in the 50s and these songs were played on the radio. I am Argentine and these songs were broadcast all over the world. I congratulate all those producers who dared to put the voice of these artists. Maybe they thought it was just for a moment. And they will continue to play...
Being a "kid " of 73, I was prretty young during tha late fifties, but in 1956 Dad bought me a transistor radio and at night I would listen to KPOI in Honolulu and grew to lLOVE Doo-Wop...Still do! I think its the BEST!!!
💥Thanks for opening the door to heaven! This music is so comforting and filled with memories of long lost friends. Being 80 years old now I look forward to joining them in heaven soon." 😎 Dave-Kansas 2022
David..... I know what you mean....everybody I knew is gone but I do remember them....1950's-1960's were great days.....gone for sure.... drive-ins too....this music reminds me of loafers
I cosier myself blessed that at 68 I can remember music from the 1950s,60s,70s and 80s with much affection. I began to lose interest from the mid 90s and the last 25 years my choices have been very few. That's why I love RUclips so much 😊❤
WOW I used to have the 45's of a lot of these FLASHBACK for sure. I'd sit in my bedroom with my suitcase player and play so many of these. I'd love to still have them.
WOW, great blast's, I'm a singer here in Spain, 70 yrs old, I sing all the usual, 2 hour show , this is great, I now play this between sets. Thanks, keep bopping
@@freeguy77 around 1966 you had 1) Vietnam war, young men drafted, and dieing, 2) student racial rioting, 3) economic problems from surtax, welfare, changing job market, women coming into the job market. 4) maybe it was FM radio and more TV sets being sold.
@@nickv1008 You can say the same thing by late-1965, after LBJ shoved young boys in real fighting army-marines units to that hellhole on Mar. 8. My pick for 1957-63 as the true Golden Oldies years, and 1954-63 for the decade. Anyway, LBJ and Truman should be rated far, far lower by the (court) "historians" if only for their foreign meddling, mass murdering, interventionist mentality that had nothing to do with U.S. national security. Kennedy was withdrawing the first 1,000 of the 16,000 military advisors (no fighting units!) but his withdrawal order was reversed by the ugly, corrupt, war-hawk LBJ on Tue. Nov. 26, 1963, the day after the funeral.
Having lost so many of the early great pioneers of rock& roll and dowop it's wonderful that we can still enjoy our kind of music. RIP Jerry Lee ( killer) Lewis. Thanks so much!😉☮️
I was about 13 ..I missed the school bus because I wanted to hear "High school hop" My mother wrote an excuse for late--missing the bus....He wanted to hear "Jerry Lewis" please give him detention. The funny part is she thought it was Dean Martin's partner..then.. I saved the excuse ..didn't turn it in..have it somewhere.. turned 79 myself. Be good now. Ripple Red
THIS IS A WONDERFUL MIX! Such heartwarming nostalgia. Thank you! So Beautiful! REAL MUSIC REAL TALENT. Some of our Best Days LIVE ON from this marvelous Doowop Era❤
For me this is the first-time hearing "oh betty" by the pharaohs. are you kidding me? this song is so good that its hard to believe that its a lesser known recording. I'm 66 and I'm not supposed to know much less like this type of music but it does something to me i cant explain. i have pretty vast knowledge of doo-wop just like much of you guys here and how come i never heard this song. i absolutely love it. i have a couple of co-workers who like doo-wop and one of them said to me give me your top 10 of all time..i told him all i can do is give you my #1 and #2 after that its to hard to rank. So for me my all-time #1 favorite is "in the still of the night" by the five satins and #2 all time for me is Donna the prima Donna by Dion. After that i said to him i can give you my top 100 but ranking them is impossible. well for me at least. it's like / is runaround sue number 3 or is it the wanderer. or neither. should it be..... heart and soul there goes my baby. hats off to Larry. little town flirt blue moon little darlin the stroll leader of the pack...............sorry i can't stop.........LOL i love how you love me the twist let's twist again. you cheated by "the shields" just discovered that one about a year ago..give it a try if you haven't heard it. donna by Richie Valens the angels listened in you're so fine by "the falcons." the loco-motion by little eva maybe by the chantells...what a voice she had so, i didn't rattle all of those off to him. how could you rank something like that. You could but it would watered down for lack of a better word of the moment and but if any of you want to give me your #1 and #2 of all time. I would love to see the two you chose. keep the oldies alive. A time long past where keeping your doors open at night was the norm. or waiting for it to get dark so we could start trick or treating instead of now days where they go to malls and trick or treat and their done by 8pm. Haha we were just getting started. Anyways those were good times I'll never forget just like everyone here. God bless ✝and I believe we all will be together someday. 🎶🎵
Fantastic!compilation . Thanks for sharing, my friend . Whatever happened to music like this,at the time when words actually meant something? I am 58 years old now! But! When I was about 12 years old, my mum taught me to jive bop and stroll, and of course, I was hooked! I actually thought that the music of this genre would bring the whole world together as one big family. Whatever happened! It seems like everyone has lost their way and lost focus on what really matters in our short lifespan, I am British, I am not white or black or any other colour that you can think of!!! I am a human being just like you ! So! Let us all refocus on what is to be extremely important! Let us all listen and learn from our beautiful music of the past! 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s let's teach our children how to speak and how to feel and that it is alright to show emotions. Let's all get back on the right track! Keep on rocking!
You are sure right about that we live in a sad world now. I wish we can turn the hands of time back. Everyone got along with each other. PEACE ,LOVE , and JOY. God bless all.
Hello. I am MUCH younger than these wonderful songs, yet these are wonderful to me. This is the first I have heard of most or all of these, yet I am absolutely enchanted. Such beautiful music --- 2022 music simply is nothing compared to this. Love these songs
Can't thank you enough. These slow dancing doo woo oldies really go to the HEART of teenage love and romance. They really capture how kids felt so fully at that place and time. While everyone is familiar with the big hits of the time, it was these lesser-known songs, which were played at the same time as the big hits, and were popular, to one extent or another, and then faded out, which really helped to define an era (maybe some of them possibly more so than the big hits, you could argue), it's just that they've faded into obscurity. If you've ever heard a song that you hadn't heard in a REAL LONG time, it can trigger memories shooting back to you in a way the more familiar (and more often played) oldies don't. So I really appreciate your selections. I'm also interested in rare American Bandstand shows from the 1950's. They're available in clips here and there, but not the entire program. There is only one entire show from December 1957. Someone has been posting entire Bandstand programs from the 1960's and 1970's, but I am really interested in entire programs from the 1950's, if they're available. (Boy, talk about a source for some rare and obscure music...!). I realize you might not have any information about these old Bandstand shows. I'm just putting it out there Many thanks, Chris
I agree with Chris Freeman regarding these lesser known doo wop songs! They are as wonderful to slow dance to as the bigger known hits! If you have EVER heard if the disc jockey Porky Chedwick, from Pittsburgh,PA, or more specifically, Homestead, PA, where i grew up, this is the sound that he was so well known for! He gave many groups their start by playing their music when no one else would!!!!! Jive Five gave him credit at an oldies Concert that my late husband and I attended in Pittsburgh, PA many years ago! And you have to know that Pittsburgh is the “Doo Wop Capital of the World!”
Pittsburgh certainly had its share of the group harmony sound. But I would put my money on New York City. Group harmony proliferated. Butchie Saunders with the Elchords' ("Peppermint Stick,") "Candy Store Love," The Valchords, The Students, ("I'm So Young") , Lillian Leach and the Mellows, ("Smoke From Your Cigarette,"), The Schoolboys ("Please Say You Want Me"), The Clovers, The Wrens, The Paragons, The Jesters, and the list goes on.
This just goes to show there was a lot of 🎶 music out there that didn't get the attention and credit it deserved. Thank you so much for sharing these great tunes ❤️ with us !!!
There were lots of records like this I had to sort through my late husband's record and CD collection even I hadn't heard of half of these he was a big music fa.
I agree, my friend .Freddy Fender and chateaus are fantastic! My all-time super group has to be the Vocaleers. Check them out! Song title: Is it a dream .
ALL THESE REVIEWS ENDEARES ME TO THE ARTIST WHO SANG THESE SONGS AND TO THE REVIEWERS AND THEIR EXPRESSIONS. I WILL BE 80 YRS OF AGE NEXT MONTH. 5/16/24. 5 20 PM PT TIME.
The 5 cent records sold at most malt shops and some record stores. Some of these were covers of hit records. I rarely bought any but I found several years later in yard sales and such. Some of these people did have hits later on under different names . But the 5 cent record is part of Rock and Roll history. It was for kids that couldn't afford the hit records.
Great Post! I was familiar mostly with the labels than the artists themselves. I know that here in OKC back in 1960, Freddie Fender had a song called HOLY ONE on Imperial Records that was a toop 10 hit here in the city. Many years before he became an "overnight" success. Good music you posted reminiscent from the late fifties-early sixties. Larry N. Boyington, aka Larry Neal, former curator of the Wax Museum on the big 1520 KOMA
TRhe Clusters' record is my all-time favorite uptempo group harmony record. It was a #25 hit in New York City when new in 1958. The overdubbed woman singing above the lead was the lead of The Deltairs ("Lullaby of the Bells," another great one). -- Bonus points for the great early Dolly Parton track.

David..... I know what you mean....everybody I knew is gone but I do remember them....1950's-1960's were great days.....gone for sure.... drive-ins too....this music reminds me of loafers
Not too soon , I hope , david
I’m only 19, but I wish I could have lived back then…I love Doo-Wop so much
Love the original version of Wasted Days & Wasted Nights. Freddie was a nice man. I got to hang with him.
I cosier myself blessed that at 68 I can remember music from the 1950s,60s,70s and 80s with much affection. I began to lose interest from the mid 90s and the last 25 years my choices have been very few. That's why I love RUclips so much 😊❤
Just wonderful....let's keep our music going!
Saying thank you is not half enough. You are very kind and the gift of music and memory is much appreciated.
🫡💚
Oh dear, that's definitely the music, I love!
I love this music brings back a lot wonderful memories
Big hair tight skirts slow dance . . . aah the 50’s . . . I was born in 1944. 🥂🥂👏👏😘
Me too
I love Dolly Parton "The Love You Gave".😢 I lost my 19yr Ol' girlfriend in a motorcycle accident 30yrs ago.
💘🤍💚
Born in 66 but rared on Elvis Holly Fats Big O and many more , Heard doo wop at 10 yrs of age on luxemburg radio
And i was stunned ❤️❤️
WOW I used to have the 45's of a lot of these FLASHBACK for sure. I'd sit in my bedroom with my suitcase player and play so many of these. I'd love to still have them.
I’m just over eight and I’m enjoying it with youGod Bless
Can't enough of music as awesome as I'm hearing now!!! 🎶🎶🎶
I love this archival stuff. Back when people actually played music and had talent, before the robots and corporations took over. More, please!
Nice to hear music that doesnt have subliminal messages packed in it. 👍👍
@@nickv1008 no computers or auto tuning to cover "singers" that can't carry a tune, either!
@@1953beatlefan those slips make it real, like art, they used to try to be perfect as a photo. Now they try to be creative and not so perfect.
This is fantastic music!! Brings back wonderful memories!!
WOW, great blast's, I'm a singer here in Spain, 70 yrs old, I sing all the usual, 2 hour show , this is great, I now play this between sets. Thanks, keep bopping

1955/1965..the best ten years of musical bliss.
In spite of the commie scare, it was America at its greatest. We have lost so much.
@@nickv1008 The commies are far worse now and more in control of the economy-culture than in 1954!
What happened in 1966 to end those great musical years? I would make the decade, 1953-63, or if post-Beatle-1964, 1957-67!
@@freeguy77 around 1966 you had 1) Vietnam war, young men drafted, and dieing, 2) student racial rioting, 3) economic problems from surtax, welfare, changing job market, women coming into the job market. 4) maybe it was FM radio and more TV sets being sold.
@@nickv1008 You can say the same thing by late-1965, after LBJ shoved young boys in real fighting army-marines units to that hellhole on Mar. 8. My pick for 1957-63 as the true Golden Oldies years, and 1954-63 for the decade. Anyway, LBJ and Truman should be rated far, far lower by the (court) "historians" if only for their foreign meddling, mass murdering, interventionist mentality that had nothing to do with U.S. national security. Kennedy was withdrawing the first 1,000 of the 16,000 military advisors (no fighting units!) but his withdrawal order was reversed by the ugly, corrupt, war-hawk LBJ on Tue. Nov. 26, 1963, the day after the funeral.
i miss 1949.. those were lovely days.. i can never forget the smell of the cake my mother cooked.. this video took me back to my childhood
I love this type of music,from my day,missing it so much
The Dolly Parton tune was the earliest I have heard..sounded kinda like Little Millie Small (my boy lollypop) voice.
enjoyed all...thanks
Love the doo wop by Dolly. Who knew she did great doo wop.❤❤😊😊
❤😂😢😊❤my kind of tunes, I am 75 on the 21st of October 🎉🎉🎉
Just wow! So many gems. Thank you ❤
Having lost so many of the early great pioneers of rock& roll and dowop it's wonderful that we can still enjoy our kind of music. RIP Jerry Lee ( killer) Lewis. Thanks so much!😉☮️
I was about 13 ..I missed the school bus because I wanted to hear "High school hop" My mother wrote an excuse for late--missing the bus....He wanted to hear "Jerry Lewis" please give him detention. The funny part is she thought it was Dean Martin's partner..then.. I saved the excuse ..didn't turn it in..have it somewhere.. turned 79 myself.
Be good now. Ripple Red
THIS IS A WONDERFUL MIX! Such heartwarming nostalgia. Thank you! So Beautiful! REAL MUSIC REAL TALENT. Some of our Best Days LIVE ON from this marvelous Doowop Era❤
76 and still rocking the 50's and 60's every day.
For me this is the first-time hearing "oh betty" by the pharaohs. are you kidding me? this song is so good that its hard to believe that its a lesser known recording. I'm 66 and I'm not supposed to know much less like this type of music but it does something to me i cant explain. i have pretty vast knowledge of doo-wop just like much of you guys here and how come i never heard this song. i absolutely love it. i have a couple of co-workers who like doo-wop and one of them said to me give me your top 10 of all time..i told him all i can do is give you my #1 and #2 after that its to hard to rank. So for me my all-time #1 favorite is "in the still of the night" by the five satins and #2 all time for me is Donna the prima Donna by Dion. After that i said to him i can give you my top 100 but ranking them is impossible. well for me at least. it's like / is runaround sue number 3 or is it the wanderer. or neither.
should it be.....
heart and soul
there goes my baby.
hats off to Larry.

leader of the pack...............sorry i can't stop.........LOL
i love how you love me
the twist
let's twist again.
you cheated by "the shields" just discovered that one about a year ago..give it a try if you haven't heard it.
donna by Richie Valens
the angels listened in
you're so fine by "the falcons."
the loco-motion by little eva
maybe by the chantells...what a voice she had
so, i didn't rattle all of those off to him. how could you rank something like that. You could but it would watered down for lack of a better word of the moment and
but if any of you want to give me your #1 and #2 of all time. I would love to see the two you chose.
keep the oldies alive. A time long past where keeping your doors open at night was the norm.
or waiting for it to get dark so we could start trick or treating instead of now days where they go to malls and trick or treat and their done by 8pm. Haha we were just getting started. Anyways those were good times I'll never forget just like everyone here. God bless ✝and I believe we all will be together someday. 🎶🎵
Thank you for checking out the music. I'm glad you digged it. And thanks for sharing your top songs and memories!
I remember the songs you mentioned and the times and I still remember the words to the songs and of course the beat.
Lesser Known Record Labels Too. Good Stuff. Thanks. 🌐
Fantastic!compilation . Thanks for sharing, my friend . Whatever happened to music like this,at the time when words actually meant something? I am 58 years old now! But! When I was about 12 years old, my mum taught me to jive bop and stroll, and of course, I was hooked! I actually thought that the music of this genre would bring the whole world together as one big family. Whatever happened! It seems like everyone has lost their way and lost focus on what really matters in our short lifespan, I am British, I am not white or black or any other colour that you can think of!!! I am a human being just like you ! So! Let us all refocus on what is to be extremely important! Let us all listen and learn from our beautiful music of the past! 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s let's teach our children how to speak and how to feel and that it is alright to show emotions. Let's all get back on the right track! Keep on rocking!
That music makes me feel sixteen forever
Hi spiffy!! Thanks for sharing another wonderful awesome golden oldie best music 🎶 🎵 💛 ❤️ 👌 💜 🎶 🎵 💛 ❤️ 👌 💜 ever 🎶 🎵!!
If the world thought like this now what a lovely place it would be. Modern music doesn’t reflect sensitive feelings we were the lucky generation
You are sure right about that we live in a sad world now. I wish we can turn the hands of time back. Everyone got along with each other. PEACE ,LOVE , and JOY. God bless all.
Great songs. Tks. Much.❤
Thanks for these lovely oldies you are playing for us. Cheers.
What a collection! Special kudos for Larry & Mike and Dolly Parton (at age 14)!
Thanks for these. I especially like the Jimmy Breedlove Okeh 45, Dolly on Mercury, and The Webtones on MGM. Priceless...
Precious music this is, how delightfull !
Hello. I am MUCH younger than these wonderful songs, yet these are wonderful to me. This is the first I have heard of most or all of these, yet I am absolutely enchanted. Such beautiful music --- 2022 music simply is nothing compared to this. Love these songs
Fantastic Bringing back great memories. ❤
Thank you for this wonderful gift. Comforting and soothing. Many blessings. Amador, Kingdom Christian from sunny Puerto Rico.
Thank you for letting me listen to songs I have never heard before. From Bergen Norway.
Can't thank you enough. These slow dancing doo woo oldies really go to the HEART of teenage love and romance. They really capture how kids felt so fully at that place and time.
While everyone is familiar with the big hits of the time, it was these lesser-known songs, which were played at the same time as the big hits, and were popular, to one extent or another, and then faded out, which really helped to define an era (maybe some of them possibly more so than the big hits, you could argue), it's just that they've faded into obscurity.
If you've ever heard a song that you hadn't heard in a REAL LONG time, it can trigger memories shooting back to you in a way the more familiar (and more often played) oldies don't.
So I really appreciate your selections. I'm also interested in rare American Bandstand shows from the 1950's. They're available in clips here and there, but not the entire program. There is only one entire show from December 1957. Someone has been posting entire Bandstand programs from the 1960's and 1970's, but I am really interested in entire programs from the 1950's, if they're available. (Boy, talk about a source for some rare and obscure music...!). I realize you might not have any information about these old Bandstand shows. I'm just putting it out there
Many thanks, Chris
I agree with Chris Freeman regarding these lesser known doo wop songs! They are as wonderful to slow dance to as the bigger known hits! If you have EVER heard if the disc jockey Porky Chedwick, from Pittsburgh,PA, or more specifically, Homestead, PA, where i grew up, this is the sound that he was so well known for! He gave many groups their start by playing their music when no one else would!!!!! Jive Five gave him credit at an oldies Concert that my late husband and I attended in Pittsburgh, PA many years ago! And you have to know that Pittsburgh is the “Doo Wop Capital of the World!”
Pittsburgh certainly had its share of the group harmony sound. But I would put my money on New York City. Group harmony proliferated. Butchie Saunders with the Elchords' ("Peppermint Stick,") "Candy Store Love," The Valchords, The Students, ("I'm So Young") , Lillian Leach and the Mellows, ("Smoke From Your Cigarette,"), The Schoolboys ("Please Say You Want Me"), The Clovers, The Wrens, The Paragons, The Jesters, and the list goes on.
What a terrific selection, Sir. Thoroughly enjoyed this. There's no beating doo wop ballads. Thank you again.
This just goes to show there was a lot of 🎶 music out there that didn't get the attention and credit it deserved. Thank you so much for sharing these great tunes ❤️ with us !!!
There were lots of records like this I had to sort through my late husband's record and CD collection even I hadn't heard of half of these he was a big music fa.
From a 74 year old fellow, EXCELLENT 😎👍👍👍
Those oldies but goodies remind me of you
When music had meanings. No Matter what your situation was there always was a Song to ease the pain🎉🎉
I love this! The Chateaus and the Freddy Fender songs are the best.
I agree, my friend .Freddy Fender and chateaus are fantastic! My all-time super group has to be the Vocaleers. Check them out! Song title: Is it a dream .
Thank very good compilation.
I love this old style music. It had class.
The king of the oldies 4. Goodies. Thanks
Thank you for some great memories.
Very romantic times indeed❣🎻🎼🥁💎🙏
These are nice sides - It's nice to see some rareities instead of common oldies
I hope that in heaven (if i ever go there) i wish part of happeness would be this music of the 50s and 60s
When we had feelings an loved each other....
ALL THESE REVIEWS ENDEARES ME TO THE ARTIST WHO SANG THESE SONGS AND TO THE REVIEWERS AND THEIR EXPRESSIONS. I WILL BE 80 YRS OF AGE NEXT MONTH. 5/16/24. 5 20 PM PT TIME.
They certainly are lesser known, thanks for posting.
Very nice set here 👍🏼👍🏼
This was an hour well spent. Thank you all the best to you.🥇🥇🥇
Killer, KILLER set! Thanks so much!
The 5 cent records sold at most malt shops and some record stores. Some of these were covers of hit records. I rarely bought any but I found several years later in yard sales and such. Some of these people did have hits later on under different names . But the 5 cent record is part of Rock and Roll history. It was for kids that couldn't afford the hit records.
Awesome songs,thank -you.
I would've never thought Dolly did Doo wop! 👍❤️
Me neither
I NEVER knew that. You learn something new every day. 😊❤
Love this. Right out of my youth.
If you should leave me... Sinceres....best of this bunch imho. classic sound. Write it in stone.
This is music at its best ❤👍
What a great list of songs, my 2nd favourite dowop song -my lost love- also I have never heard sleep walk vocalised before,thank you so much
Great Post! I was familiar mostly with the labels than the artists themselves. I know that here in OKC back in 1960, Freddie Fender had a song called HOLY ONE on Imperial Records that was a toop 10 hit here in the city. Many years before he became an "overnight" success. Good music you posted reminiscent from the late fifties-early sixties.

WOW...THANKS , I didn't realize I was that old....
TRhe Clusters' record is my all-time favorite uptempo group harmony record. It was a #25 hit in New York City when new in 1958. The overdubbed woman singing above the lead was the lead of The Deltairs ("Lullaby of the Bells," another great one). -- Bonus points for the great early Dolly Parton track.
