Doo Wop Box - Complete 3 Volume Set

There's a seemingly simple unspoken understanding among doo-wop groups: name the group after a bird (Lens, Flamingos) or a car (Cadillacs, Eldorados), practice harmonies in 2-4 parts on a neighborhood alley corner or behind the candy store, and sing about how much you love your sweetheart. You might think it's an obvious formula, but it's never easy to actually pull it off. But once it works, this formula gives birth to some of the most unforgettable and joyful music of the 20th century. This 4-CD set, featuring everyone from the Orioles ("It's Too Soon to Know") to Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers ("I Want You to Be My Girl"), is undoubtedly the definitive introduction to vocal rock and roll music from the 1950s and early 60s.
