J.C. Marion - R&B Vocal Group Scholar

Abie's DooWop Taxi wouldn't be what it is without the great knowledge of J.C. Marion, a life-long fan of the early R&B vocal group sound. This vintage music was the foundation of all that followed.

J.C. lends Abie his great knowledge for all of us to enjoy.

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.
