Gerry Benedict's "Top Doo Wops Shows"

Before his professional endeavors prevented him from continuing his hobby on the Internet, Gerry Benedict ran the legendary web site known to many DooWop fans as "Top Doo Wops". Besides a treasure trove of doo-wop songs, the Web site also offered a series of "Top Doo Wops Radio Shows," hosted by Gerry himself.

Although the Top Doo Wops site ceased to exist several years ago, some avid collectors managed to save the original "Top Doo Wops Radio Shows" from 2002. Recently these shows were dug up from the archives, dusted off, and revived on this site. So, in case you missed them a few years ago, or in case you just want to hear them again, here is your chance to listen to the Top Doo Wops Radio Shows.

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.
