Over the Top Doo Wops 2 / Various (CD)

2013 archive collection of Doo Wop rarities. A true underground music of the 1950s, Doo-Wop (it didn't even have a name until it's heyday was over) represented a form of folk art that was most often practiced on urban street corners, playgrounds and high schools across the USA by young (predominantly male) vocal quartets. Here is another delicious helping of up tempo Doo-Woppin' tracks from that era by no-hit wonders like the Court Jesters, Mixers, Five Vets and Tony Rice and the Overtones as well as better-known units like the Rainbows, Sentimental's, Four Buddies and the Willows. All are prime examples of the type of music that teenagers across the country were listening and dancing to when a drive-in hamburger cost 15 cents and 45 rpm records (at 89 cents apiece) were considered the backbone of the music industry. So enjoy!
