Welcome
This website is dedicated to the
preservation of the legacy of
Doo Wop and
the groups who first began this solely
American form of music.
Within this website; short artists bios,
origins of
doo-wop, and links to other 50's/
fifties
related nostalgic websites. We have
attempted to list the major artists and
groups who have been accredited with
changing from rhythm & blues to beginnings
of rock n' roll.
The limited use of musical instruments and
great vocal harmonies are the essence of
doo-wop
music. It also combined easy to understand
vocals and, simplistic words that appealed
to the vast majority of Americans. The
origins of Doo Wop seem to be rooted in
urban African American society, however, not
limited to this nationality. The street
corners, school hallways gave birth to a
form of music that changed music history in
America and the world.
