Default Doo-wop music
Anyone here into the oldies?

i have a soft spot for doo-wop music, it's so sweet and harmonious but sadly idk alot of Doo-wop music which is why i made this thread so i can find more about it through you guys.

I'll start with a fairly popular one


(He called her a whore btw)

OH, 2 things

plz 2 vids max per post
Also feel free to talk about any doo-wop group you want but plz put a song of the group as an exmpl

QUICK TIP:

Most of this music is copyright protected but if you're lucky you'll find a live version of the song that is not.

I'm frankly not a huge Doo-wop fan, but Ronnie James Dio started off doing it. Fun little fact I had to share.

it's a shame the original recording is copyright protected cause it sounds amazing to this day.

There is nothing on earth that means less to me, since as far back as the '70's, as the potential for any style of music to get me laid.

How does "thats how you got the ladies" implies you have to sleep with them?

Doo Wop genre and singing talent of a male was a very attractive quality and considered charming during that time.

Maybe so but I'm saying I don't care, at all, ever in my life, how my musical interests reflect in any perceived attractiveness to others. I grew up listening to the progressive rock of the 1970's, groups such as Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, so on. Girls HATED that music and I was pretty unpopular with them despite being a very handsome young man. Didn't care then, don't care now.

I mean no disrespect to Doo Wop music, on the contrary.
