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...

This all brings tears to my eyes. Teenage love. And now, at eighty, there are fewer and fewer folks left that can enjoy it along with me.

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.

🎶🎵 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 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.

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 love Dolly Parton "The Love You Gave".😢 I lost my 19yr Ol' girlfriend in a motorcycle accident 30yrs ago.

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.

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.

I was born in 59 in the 🇬🇧 But this music stays in my mind. For some nostalgic reason it plays through my head when Im ever in a place where the area has a 50s throwback to it. One particular memory is from the late 70's. I was a soldier patrolling my base on the outer perimeters in Germany, a cold winter night, the rain drizzling in the lamp lights, yet this kind of music was running through my head it was so clear as if back in that era. It is still with me today. The best music ever so easy and relaxing absolutely beautiful harmonies and melodies. Long live doo wop.♥️♥️

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❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

Love this music. Hi school grad 1959.the best music ever.still listening to it every day

1955/1965..the best ten years of musical bliss.

Lost my husband of 53 years in 2021. We loved listening to oldies...he would have really enjoyed all these. Bringing tears to my eyes❤😢

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.

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!

I’m a teenager again. Wonderful, thank you.

💥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

They're all are Beautiful songs ❣️

LOVE THE DOO WOP MUSIC! SO GLAD I CAN FIND THIS GREAT DOO WOP MUSIC! DOO WOP MUSIC LIVES ON FOREVER!! GOD BLESS!!

Just wow! So many gems. Thank you ❤

Precious music this is, how delightfull !

Thank you for inviting me to travel down memory lane...

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

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!!!

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

I love this archival stuff. Back when people actually played music and had talent, before the robots and corporations took over. More, please!

Saying thank you is not half enough. You are very kind and the gift of music and memory is much appreciated.

WE ARE ALL GOING BACK TRUST ME. LIFE WAS GREAT AND ALL MY FRIENDS (GIRLS & BOYS. I STARTED DANCING IN 1957 THANK YOU GOD.

Love the original version of Wasted Days & Wasted Nights. Freddie was a nice man. I got to hang with him.

This is fantastic music!! Brings back wonderful memories!!

Thank you for letting me listen to songs I have never heard before. From Bergen Norway.

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 just love all the saxophone in 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

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 ❤️❤️

I love this! The Chateaus and the Freddy Fender songs are the best.

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 !!!

Those oldies but goodies remind me of you

Thank you for this wonderful gift. Comforting and soothing. Many blessings. Amador, Kingdom Christian from sunny Puerto Rico.

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.

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

Oh dear, that's definitely the music, I love!

I love this music brings back a lot wonderful memories

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. 🎶🎵

I love this type of music,from my day,missing it so much

That music makes me feel sixteen forever

Hi spiffy!! Thanks for sharing another wonderful awesome golden oldie best music 🎶 🎵 💛 ❤️ 👌 💜 🎶 🎵 💛 ❤️ 👌 💜 ever 🎶 🎵!!

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!”

The Dolly Parton tune was the earliest I have heard..sounded kinda like Little Millie Small (my boy lollypop) voice. enjoyed all...thanks

Thanks for these. I especially like the Jimmy Breedlove Okeh 45, Dolly on Mercury, and The Webtones on MGM. Priceless...

Lesser Known Record Labels Too. Good Stuff. Thanks. 🌐

What a collection! Special kudos for Larry & Mike and Dolly Parton (at age 14)!

Love the doo wop by Dolly. Who knew she did great doo wop.❤❤😊😊

They certainly are lesser known, thanks for posting.

Love this music

Fantastic Bringing back great memories. ❤

Great songs. Tks. Much.❤

Thank very good compilation.

These are nice sides - It's nice to see some rareities instead of common oldies

Thanks for these lovely oldies you are playing for us. Cheers.

I Need You. Best song of all 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.

I remember when "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" was a hit in the 70's. Did not know there was an earlier version by Freddy Fender. This version does sound a little different.

When we had feelings an loved each other....

Big hair tight skirts slow dance . . . aah the 50’s . . . I was born in 1944. 🥂🥂👏👏😘

The doo wop days were something else. I remember my cousins listening to this music every day. I was a 4 or 5 year old in the late 50s.

Me and 3 friends did "In the still of the night" in front of our whole high school. It was great. Singing doo wops to the walls!

What a lot of tremendous wonderful work. True passion for the music. Nicely done, Wayne

Awesome songs,thank -you.

I would've never thought Dolly did Doo wop! 👍❤️

Love this. Right out of my youth.

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.

LOVE these old songs!

This is the best music, I can identify with this,❤🎶🎶💕😍

This was an hour well spent. Thank you all the best to you.🥇🥇🥇

This is music at its best ❤👍

Thank you for some great memories.

Terrific stuff thanks and best wishes from the u.k 😀👍

Before my time but still great music.

Thanks so much from the UK🇬🇧

Very nice set here 👍🏼👍🏼

Spiffy Griffy M.: Gran selección de temas del género "bailables lentos",dónde las parejas,sentían la fusión momentánea de un tabú implantado por unas décadas negacionistas ,algunos al dejar fluir los encantos de la atracción entre los jóvenes.¡ Tengan un buen sendero de exitos !

Smashing music

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

Love these oldies😊😊😊😊

Just be thankful for the gift of life.. the best is yet to come if you grasp it with faith and and trust..just hold on to all of it you sre able to muster⚓️🕊

I love the 60s and 70s music. The lesser know hits of the 70s are Pasadena by Mumma Bear, Waldo P Emerson Jones by Pickettywitch, My Brother Jake by Free,:Shoo Be Doo Ah by Peter Noone, Iron Horse by Christie, Shut me out by The Matchbox, This song's for you by the Mixtures, She's A Lady by the Hermitts etc etc

If you should leave me... Sinceres....best of this bunch imho. classic sound. Write it in stone.

Ima start wearing formal clothing and suits. I just love the beautiful music that was produced back then :)

Awesome 👍

Any kind of music can make a Positive I am happy all the time in my mind a

Nice song. Thanks

Very cool music

THANK YOU FOR GREAT MEMORIES OF THE PAST

"The Love You Gave " by Dolly Parton and the Merry Melody Singers is a real buried treasure; virtually a female version of "The Girl of My Best Friend." Nice old song.

WOW...THANKS , I didn't realize I was that old....

Wonderful memories
