Doo Wop Just Doesn't Get Any Better Than The Flamingos!!!!

the term wasnt coined until the 70s according to wikipedia

The early stylings and voices of Harvey Fuqua and Bobby Lester.

In this way happen too with " Rock and Roll " term, before Alan Freed called of this way to much songs, the people called them " jumpin' blues ", " Race records", " country boogie " or " Hillbilly songs" (for example) although over the 2nd middle of the 40's ( some years before inclusive ) the musical structure already was determined, very close of the rhythm called R & R, even more, that many songs of this time included the words 'Rock and Roll ' in they lyrics,But Was till that Alan Freed called " Rock and Roll "in the sense that we know today and only till then, the " Rock and Roll " term appears as it's... well I say so...

Doowop was an invention made for rock & roll revival shows. In the 50's the music you are listing to was either rock & roll or rhythm & blues. No such a thing as doowop an invention of the late 70's early 80's record companies.

The rhythm and blues of the early 50's is rock and roll.

Never was brave enough to say this but sure seemed to be so. Thanks for confirming. Maybe RnR Always existed. It always will.

It WASN'T a "cover". It was a remake. A "cover" was a record that another company released to piggyback on a record that had already been released and was selling well, that the second company could gain sales from the public's recognition of that same song. When so-called "Rock & Roll" started, that was a way that record companies could have their Caucasian "Pop" artists record an R&B song, and the song could reach a much, much larger audience than just The African American community, and the handful of Caucasians and other non-African-Americans who knew of that music and were actually "allowed" to buy it. Pat Boone singing Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" was a cover. Bill Haley and His Comets singing The Cues' "Burn That Candle" was a cover. The Diamonds singing The Gladiolas' "Little Darlin' " was a cover. The Crew Cuts singing The Chords' "Sh-Boom" was a cover. Covers came out at the same time a record was having its run, and the sales of the 2nd record were many, many times greater than the original, covering it like a blanket. During the 1940s, and 1950s, there were also genre covers. C&W producers would produce C&W versions of R&B hit songs, and vise versa. When a new record comes out using the same song as someone else recorded one year or more before, it is a "remake".

Great explanation

Volume 2 would be 1954 Doo-Wop. That was the year Atlantic really started pumping out these kind of songs. SilverMax

Doo wop was a term that never existed until the late 60 s. In the good old days it was just rock n roll or rhythm n blues

Sorry to inform you...First Doowop is documented...1955, Turbans, "When you dance"

BTW, Doowop was over at the British Invasion, 1962, Beatles. You are sooo Wrong.

The Doo Wop you are referring to in the Turbans record is simply a nonsense phrase that was sung as backup. The Doo Wop Mr B was referring to, is a musical style- which as he said, did not come into usage until the late 60s and early 70s.
