Ultimate Doo Wop Show

Doo Wop is an African - American version of R & B that emerged in the 40s. This kind of music became extremely popular in the mainstream in the following decades. The Horror punk, Beach music and beat music are an extension to the Doo Wop. It is more of a street music that has taken its roots from the gospel music of the churches. Its most significant part is the use of voices to create a cappella. The typical instrument of Doo wop includes Electric guitar, Saxophone, Double bass, Drums, Harmony and Piano.

My Paper by Ink Spots is one of the earliest recorded examples of this style of music. Ink Spot was an African - American vocal group which recorded this song in 1939. The music has its roots in gospel and church music. Even though the doo wop was born in church and grew up in streets, but the influence of blues cannot be denied. In fact, it was blues which truly gave the music its identity. When the music actually began, it did not have a name. In 1950s, it was called rock and roll or R & B. Some singers, while singing nonsense syllables would imitate instruments. It was this practice which gave the music its name.

The big break for Doo Wop came in 1956. The Teenagers was a band which was at its peak during that time. Frankie Laine made a nationwide appearance on television. Frankie along with band performed Why Do Fools Fall in Love. The smash hit song was the first ever mega exposure to doo wop. Even though Frankie referred to the piece as rock and roll but that was because the doo wop was generally called rock and roll back then. Only later did it get the name. The late 1950s was the time of Italian doo wop music groups. Over the years, the exquisite music style has left their mark on the music. The Doo Wop remained fairly popular until the British Invasion.
