I think that that last piece you list, Sh-Boom, was actually by The Chords.
@29BKing it is by the chords but the coasters are the ones singing in the video
did you know that It took me an hour to find all the songs? Im 12 and have been listening to oldies since I was 11 I don’t even see the use of phones anymore *sigh*
Good job!
absolute madlad The last is the chords, not the coasters
I'm glad I found a person close to my age who shares the same taste in music. Also the history behind it.
Spread the word to people around your age to keep this music alive. The more you search YT, the more gems you'll uncover.
Can't forget Dion DiMucci and the Belmonts. Those guys are legends.
My dad worked a summer job in late 50’s early 60’s for a large city’s municipal amphitheater. He met a lot of the DooWop stars. He said the only ones that were jerks were Dion & the Belmonts. He said this was also the first time he ever saw someone smoke these ‘funny cigarettes’. 😁. Btw he got to act as a body-double decoy for his idol - Johnny Mathis!! When it was time to take JM back to his hotel, the put Johnny’s jacket he wore in the concert over Dad’s head and rushed him to the limo through the crowd of wild, screaming girls. He said it was like beatlemania and kind of scary. By the time he got to the car, JM had gone out the stagehand’s door and got away clean in a regular car. The limo went around the block and dropped dad off. What an adventure. Man, if those girls only knew Johnny had NO interest in women back then. I know dad would have been freaked out too!

Matt Kustom Kostumes.
@@nicomacheanc9837 Whatever. It’s true. Disbelieve what you want.
@@mattkaustickomments Carlo Freddie and Angelo are/were some of the nicest guys around. They always loved their fans. Dion was the real jerk imo. He always says how he recruited the Belmonts meanwhile they paired up with him.
@@Frnk_3 interesting. When it comes to “The Day the Music Died” Dion’s account of Buddy & friends’ last day also does not match up at all with the other witnesses... a trend?
I remember discovering all this music arround 2010 as a teenager, my interest with 50's cars brought me into that and things in life at the time made me feel identified with some of those songs lyrics... I've been crazy about all that since then, it really is kind of sad how forgotten all this music is nowadays, those really were high quality voices.
Spread the word!
These were some great times. Made in America!! If I could go back I would leave immediately.
Greatest music ever
i'm french from Paris and i love Doowop ! Specially the New-York sound. Dion and the Belmonts with "I wonder why" is an uptempo master piece !
Indeed it's my favorite song.
Machine-gun-like-backup-nonsense syllables - but harmless!
These videos are great. Idk why you're being slept on
Nothing like the R&B of the 50s-60s. The Orioles, Ravens, Valentines, Moonglows, Vocaleers, Flamingos, list goes on. ❤️🔥
Still dance to them now
Thank you for calling it Rhythm & Blues. Nobody ever called vocal group harmony RnB Doo Wop before the early 70's
This is a genre I grew up with. I was born in the mid 90s and i turn 25 this year. My dad has a collection of vinyl from the 1930s all the way to the 60s and 70s and he would play his old records all the time while I was growing up. My mother always kept the car radio on the oldies station for me when I was younger. I even dressed as a greaser in highschool and kept with a rockabilly trend even now. Unfortunately I cant wear a pompadour anymore because my hair is too long but I wear a fedora instead. I remember seeing a 1957 chevrolet for the first time and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I wanted my parents to get a classic car but they always turned down the opportunity. My dad and my grandpa both worked for the chrysler plant here in saint louis which had some of the most famous cars produced including the Plymouth Fury.
Don't be reluctant to tell yours peers about doo wop! They just might end up being as cool as you and others who have found this music.
WHO WANNA START A DOO WOP GROUP!!!??
Il start a rap doo wop group.
Nick Lee I've always thought that "Doo-Hop" would be a good name for such a musical hybrid! (...definitely better than "Hip-Wop"!)
@@nlee4566 no
I
Meee
A Bronx Tale brought me here ! Following that I watched Goodfellas, I love this genre of music and have the 60s -set mob - flicks to than for it !
I was first introduced to doo wop by my elementary school music teacher Mr. Vals back in the 90s. He seemed to ooze with passion about these groups and would always delve into their backstories as he played these classics for our class. I will always love him for that. Thanks to him, doo wop will always be one of my top favorite genres of music.
Love it when younger people get exposed to this music - and enjoy it!
Dude your videos are top notch. Don't stop!
I love how "oops i did it again" is a modern pop song (from almost 20 years ago).
@Dos Eggies 0:26
I discovered Doo wop music when I was 10 watching Stand by me. Sometimes I wish I grew up during this Era of music.
The Teenagers’ , Gee label LP is rich with great ; spirited selections , half are “fast” upbeat , complemented by “slow” songs. All performances are superbly rendered by trailblazer vocals accompanied by FABULOUS band.
Brilliant video, but here's a note. The throwing underwear phenomena had been done before, not ever in the 20th century though. Franz Liszt and Paganini both experienced the Beatlemaniaesque experience. Again, amazing video.
oh really?
Frank Sinatra did as well. This was well before the rise of Doo-Wop.
Go getcha shinebox!
-Thankyou for putting this mini documentary together. Even though I like house, jazz, mid 60's Motown & easy listening, it's 50's-early 60's r&b/doowop/r&r that really gets me.
Italian-Americans had the harmony style creatively
Like Dion and the belmonts , The elegants , and frankie valli and the four seasons.❤🔥
The Nerdwriter of music history and popular music. Looking forward to more videos.
Found this music in 5th grade and I completely changed my life with music, attitude, and I got more interested in history to the point I almost live by it in many ways
Agreed! also some of my favorite music as well. Great to jive and rock 'n' roll to. Two more faves are by The Silhouettes with the fast rockin' tempo "Get A Job" released late in 1957 and the romantic slow dance tune by The Rays "Silhouettes On The Shade" also 1957.
For whatever it's worth, you shoulda mentioned the Dominoes (1951) with lead Jackie Wilson, and the Crows "Gee" (1953) -- the very first true doo-wop record to cross over onto the white charts and become a major hit. PS. The Del Vikings song title is "Come Go With Me." No "and" in it.
Jackie Wilson came after Clyde McPhatter left in 1953. The original Dominoes were Clyde McPhatter their main lead singer (1st Tenor) Charlie White who had a couple leads such as “The Deacon Moves In” (2nd Tenor) Baritone William Joseph “Joe” Lamont who kept up the background harmonies, and Bass (Possibly also William) Bill Brown who led their biggest hit Sixty Minute Man
Thank you so much for the brief history of Doo Wop style. Absolutely in love with it. I am an Indian and I just watched A Bronx Tale (1993). The movie featured some Doo Wop songs (for eg 'I only have eyes for you' by the Flamingos) and I loved it very much so i searched about it and landed up on your video. Thanks again!
Dude, these are some great video essays you've got here. Can't wait until your next video pops up into my feed :)
You are a good narrator and I like your editing style. You should tone down the volume of the music, when you're narrating, though.
i disagree
I love your narrative. Your voice is very 60's to me, like the narrator on WonderYears
Doo Wop artists are NOT BANDS, they are GROUPS!
Those are synonyms
No they aren't in this case
Bands play instruments
Doo wop groups were almost always strictly singers
@Channel Name one
@Channel They were not a doo wop group
When I was an "Oldies" DJ, someone ask me who my favorite "band" was, and I said they aren't "bands" and he said "well, what would you call them?" - and I said "groups" - so Bruce G, I totally agree with your comment!
Great job on this and Motown also came into influence on this too
I did not hear you mention The Crests...they were sooo big...and interracial too.
The Crests are great.
The one and only Johnny Maestro!
This video is one of the most sweetest things I've ever seen!
i fucking love doo-wop, dion and the belmonts, the chordettes. even jan and dean and the beach bous.
You're a little confused. The Chordettes were middle-aged woman. The music they sang was Pop not doowop. Jan and Dean and The Beach Boys sang surf music, not doowop.
Really an OUTSTANDING documentary!!! Thank you for putting this together!
I love your analysis on different music topics like Doo-Wop! I would love to see a electronic music video essay like "How House Music Changed Dance Music" or " How electronic music changed everything" !!
literally just had an education in doo-wop from you just now. thanks so much for that incredible video. The Drifters ,Under the Boardwalk is my favourite doo wop track. 👍
I have many doo wop songs it like but my favorites are Baby Talk, Jan & Dean, Pretty Little Angel Eyes by Curtis Lee, You Cheated by the Shields, I Really Love You by the Stereos, I Can't Stay Mad At You by Skeeter Davis..
I’d love to make a project that combines doo-wop with shoegaze and dream pop. I think the two styles would go great together!
This is the dopest video on RUclips don't @ me
Proud to be a new subscriber! Keep these coming please!
Your videos are very good! You leave a lot of room for the artists, and if you keep up, there's no doubt you'll blow up, considering the quality of other music channels, or informative video essays elsewhere on RUclips.
As a side note, I'm wondering if you're acquainted with Bob Dylan's radio show, which introduced me to many artists you've played on this video, as well as many anecdotes, session quirks, or musicians of that era.
Thank you for the story! I gradually moved my music preference to this era, and found doo-wop music played in background of lazy V8 rumble (or V6 purr) together with the view over long hood to be the best kind of relaxation🙂
You started the video with one of my favorite songs by Rosie and The Originals. Thanks.
In the early 1950's, about 10 years old, I had trouble sleeping one Saturday night, and I turned on my AM radio about midnight. I tuned in to a station out of Newark, NJ. I think the show was called the Night Train. Early rhythm and blues. I loved it. Then, in the mid 1950's, Allan Fried came to NYC and started playing rock and roll. I found myself singing at night with friends under street lights or in school bathrooms (for the echo). We heard many of the early do-wop groups on the radio. Dick Clark on American Bandstand gave a lot of performers (mainly from Philly) a lot of national exposure. A great time to be introduced to music.
The Night Train show was hosted by a white DJ named Alan Fredericks, and it aired from Long Island, not Newark.
funnily enough my first introduction was Sh-boom by the Coasters and the whole genre in general was through the 2005 Pixar movie Cars and ive been in love ever since ive heard that melody
aaah man...doowop saved my life when I was 18 and was homeless for a few months...and doowop will see me to my death. thanks for this brief but well done clip.
Now you're 21 and I bet the discoveries are still coming your way!
@@terryhollis6055 I am 57. Doowop kept me going through hard times when I was 18. Your comment confuses me.
@@docdoowop Yeah, I understand why I confused you. I misread your initial comment, thinking that you were 18 when you wrote it. As for the discoveries - I figured that over the next three years (age 18 - 21) that you would have found many more doo wop songs that you liked. I apologize.
Still, since you were only born about the time of the British Invasion (of music), it is great to hear from someone that loves this music. Check out a couple of my favorite doo wops that are rare: Al Chaney - "That's Why I Want You" and Buddy Randell & The Knickerbockers - "All I Need Is You."
@@terryhollis6055 hey, i misread all the time...
and I am still discovering more doowop songs...i surely have not heard them all...
@@docdoowop You’re not from Schenectady NY by any chance...
I'm 24 but I love DooWop, and really almost anything 50s.
Maybe there are more of you than I thought! One can only hope that this great music survives those of us who grew up with it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks for posting
Mid-60's where I went to High School, the acoustics were best in the boy's bathrooms. Floors and walls were ceramic tile and the sound was good. The Black guys would sing a capella Doo Wop in the first floor can, and the Italian guys would sing a capella Doo Wop up in the second floor bathroom. Those were the days.
Thank you so much Jeffery for making this video. It was very informative. 🙂
Fun fact you missed. Doo wop also is responsible for Reggae music which started out in the early 60’s as SKA music, an upbeat version of doo wop choreographed by the primarily jazz based calypsonian musicians in Jamaica. Ska evolved into Reggae then rocksteady. Bob Marley has an interview on YT where he explains this, when he was a kid they listened to fats domino and American doo wop.
FINALLY someone has given doowop its justice. Doowop is black music that came from struggle and heartache like early rap and set the bar for pop. Legendary culture that shaped the industry froma few poor black folks in the ghetto during segregation.
Black or white - it's all good! Or mixed groups like the Crests led by the incomparable Johnny Maestro - I love his voice so much - may he RIP!
My friends make fun of me for liking music like this.
Wtf do they listen to then? It’s like not listening to modern music like EVERYONE else is a sin nowadays. Don’t mind them. I had my fair share of goons in middle school and during my early years in high school. I listen to music from 1963-1997 but have recently got into some modern artists who pay homage to music of this era. I never really cared for music before the 60s but their were some greats of that time that I appreciate: Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, and Frankie Lymon (of The Teenagers).
Only a passing reference to the Ravens. They were just as influential to the development of doo wop than the Mills Brothers if not more so.
this is a great video. The production quality is sooo good.
Im so glad my mom raised me listening to this
Glad I was there for some of the earliest of this era. It's all still around if you missed it.
I really enjoyed that. If you were to expand it to half an hour I'd watch that too.
I'm off to look over some more of your stuff.
I AM PHENING FOR DOO WOP AGAIN THANK YOU MY MAN
ive got to say the oj's killed it.
The music was slow and sad, then 5 seconds later shows a fast upbeat song.
i miss your videos like this stillwell
Great job might want to consider reading: Acappella Living in the Shadows 1963-1973. It covers this genre.
wonderful videos, I can't wait to watch your future videos
What a great ode to a pivotal genre
What a better way to sing songs with just voices
Hi, little mistake: The Picture at 5:02 in white suits are the Belangels, a neo doowop band from germany in the early 90ies, recorded under the name the chordliners
Nice and clean. One of the best presentations I've ever seen anywhere. 👍
Nice video Jeffrey. Thank you for making this
EXCELLENT video. I’m 16 out of Detroit and I love this kind of music. I have a huge collection of doo wop 45s. Detroit has an amazing scene for doo wop
RMK i’ve got thousands of 35’s
Now you're 19 and hopefully spreading the word!
your ending doesn't work anymore without the annotations, you might want to fix it cause i wanted to listen tot he playlist.
Great video on a subject people don't talk about a lot!
Start talking!
I like it because it all sounds like "Blue Moon" 😃
A surprisingly excellent video on the history of the often overlooked but very influential Doo-Wop genre within R&B music.
Love this video…I return to it every now n then
Whenever I play my doo woo Spotify playlist my friends look at me like a killed the vibe. I don’t care bro I love 50s and 60s music
The Crows were the first ones to break though with a Doowop/RnR smash hit in 53-54. Not the first doowop group by no means earlier groups like The Ravens,Orioles,Swallows,Delta Rhythm Boys and Ink Spots charted classic songs but 'The Crows were Rock n' Rolls first chart toppers 👍🏼
Gee!
Music is the staff of life
I am in love with your videos, man. I enjoy the history of music genres a lot and you produce your research so well :) Could you possibly do something on funk/disco? Keep up your awesome work!
Excellent and entertaining video on one of the best genres of music this earth has ever seen! You really did it justice.
The best!
make more videos period ! you have a talent for this !
Not a bad take on doo wop (a name those of us who were there HATE). To us it was just the beginning of Rock and Roll. Its source is Rhythm and Blues (aka "race" music). When white teenagers discovered it, the music changed forever. Thanks to the black performers.
We called it Group Harmony in the Burgh.
But the name (Doo Wop) is an attention-getter - so if it awakens those that did not grow up with this music - then just let it be helpful in exposing it.
@@deaddog5344 Pittsburgh: "The Oldies Capital Of The World"
like all great American music....it came grew from the roots...up. truly organic....only in america....
Yep ! Only in America 🤙🏽 ! Noteworthy , that graphic depicting The Teenagers, Gee label LP is packed with fabulous band accompaniment. Historical indications are that some unemployed big band artists were recruited to establish new “roots “ , which define “new” sound 👉🏽 Doo Wop , rock ‘n roll.
With songs like the Flamingos I only Have Eyes for You, it has to be the the best make out music around.
It curls my toes inside my house when I listen to Doo wops like those!!
The vast majority of the slow doo wap songs are in a 3/4 time signature not swing as you stated early in the video. The fact that 3/4 time is used so much in this style is very important as to understanding it.
Frank Sinatra used to stand on street corners of Hoboken NJ
The phrase doo wop was coined by Gus gossert in the early 70s. He was a nyc dj
Great video! You definitely deserve more recognition
The very best later, Doo Wop considered early soul, especially on the U.K. "Northern Soul" scene were the Showmen "The Wrong Girl" and the superb "Our Love will Grow".
Doiwop vocal group music from the 50's and early 60's. The greatest music ever recorded
Man you should do more videos these videos are incredible and fresh
Fantastic. Would be great to do a documentary on the sweetest forgotten greasy sound called the TEEN SOUND.
I'm not sure if you realized that the white band in minute 5:01 is not from the 50s. It's the Bellangles from Hamburg / Germany in the late 80s maybe early 90s.
All of those groups were fabulous - don’t forget The
Cadillacs!!
Onomatopoeia...a serious $60 word...first learned about 60 years ago as a freshman in high school...Kenny Vance says it all in his song..."Looking for a. Echo" singing in a hall or subway...or locking themselves in the bathroom looking for that elusive echo effect...
What about The Ink Spots as being the first.
So doo wop is old fashioned a capella ??
Doo wop spawned acapella
Not old-fashioned. Just vintage or older.
you videos are amazing dude!! Keep it up
Do you still have the playlist of your favourite Doo-Wop songs? There’s no link at the end of the video.
Kay Plumb yes i really want this too but i can’t even find this guy on any socials :(
I'm curious what relationship there is between doo-wop and swamp pop. I noticed the swamp poppy 6/8 vibe seems to come in around 1956, after swamp pop started.
Doo-Wop is the music I grew up with -------& I am so grateful for that Blessing! ---------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Love Doo Wop...🎶 ❤ 🎶
I'm surprised there weren't more Doo Wop groups with Teenager or Teen in their name if they were mostly 17-19 unless there were
I do know about Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers
@@RoboLobster3000 The Teenagers were basically the prototype of The Jackson 5. They should’ve been more famous instead of being kicked to the curb due to Frankie Lymon going through puberty changing his perfect voice.
