Over The Top Doo Wops, Vol. 1
In the early heyday of rock'n'roll, the music we now know as doo wop had just come of age. From the street corners of Harlem and Detroit, Baltimore and St. Louis, and stretching all the way to Los Angeles, San Francisco and beyond, the art of vocal group harmony was undergoing a process of constant experimentation and refinement through the efforts of young hopefuls looking to make their mark in the field of popular music. Eventually music historians would come up with a name for it, but not until the phenomenon had evolved from passing fancy to nostalgic obsession with entirely new generations of music fans worldwide.
