DooWop Lovers, This is a Must:

"Life Could Be A Dream: The Doo-Wop Sound" - the definitive look at the music and performers of the Doo-Wop Era!

Doo-Wop is a unique form of harmony singing which ultimately swept the world and transformed the face of popular music. It's a simple style of singing, born of the urban streets, but in its inherent simplicity is a powerful attraction and a fascinating tale of passionate young love, heartache, triumph, and some of the sweetest lyrics and sounds ever recorded. It's a story that has never been told. This is that story.

Featuring:

Lewis Lymon and Jimmy Merchant (The Teenagers), Earl "Speedo" Carroll (The Cadillacs), Arlene Smith (The Chantels), Pookie Hudson (The Spaniels), Reather Dixon and Emma Pought (The Bobbettes), Dave Somerville (The Diamonds), Things To Come, Cyndy & The Cliftonaires, Ronnie Italiano (UGHA), Bobby Jay (WCBS), Don K. Reed (WCBS).
