Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 2 - 1950
1950 was something of a transitional year for African-American vocal groups, though it probably wasn't all that apparent at the time.
The venerated old-timers such as The Mills Brothers, Delta Rhythm Boys, and Jubalaires were still popular entities, their immaculately honed harmonies and rich, inviting leads harking back to an earlier stage of the art's development, when widespread pop acceptance was the first and foremost goal of any group. The first two aggregations to emerge as genuine rhythm and blues stars during the postwar era, The Ravens and The Orioles, continued to soar, though neither had hits over the course of 1950 on the same exalted level that they'd enjoyed during the late '40s. The ascension of peerless Ravens bass singer Jimmy Ricks had spawned a slew of groups boasting a deep-voiced front man of their own. Thanks to his mammoth success, Jimmy had a lot more competition now.
Orioles lead tenor Sonny Til - the genre's first matinee idol, thanks to his group's smash 1948 ballad It's Too Soon To Know and a string of similarly intimate followups that were nearly as successful - was about to find out how fickle fame could be. In 1949, his Orioles reeled off a half-dozen hits, but they'd post none at all one short year later. Til's crown was about to be snatched away by a daring young tenor whose gospel-fired vocal histrionics were like nothing the secular world had ever encountered in a vocal group setting.
Clyde McPhatter was the sensational lead tenor of The Dominoes, a new group assembled by vocal coach/songwriter Billy Ward with hopes of creating a sound not all that far removed from that of The Ink Spots. Clyde's flights of vocal fancy would render Ward's dream moot, to the great benefit of countless vocal groups to come who did their best to follow in Clyde's footsteps. McPhatter would prove the most influential lead tenor of his era; his first single with The Dominoes, Do Something For Me, is one of the many highlights of this jam-packed collection.

Street Corner Symphonies
Der Doo-Wop-Sound war, wie später der Rap, eine besondere künstlerische Ausdrucksform in den amerikanischen Großstädten. Man hörte ihn an Straßenecken, in den Treppenhäusern der Mietskasernen und auf den Toiletten der High Schools... und in den Aufnahmestudios wurde er für die Nachwelt erhalten. Die meisten Doo-Wop-Künstler waren Afro-Amerikaner, und die meisten Songs klangen romantisch oder melancholisch und standen in scharfem Kontrast zur düsteren Realität des Alltags der Afro-Ame- rikaner in den Städten. Doo-Wop hat seinen Ursprung in den schwarzen Pop Vokal- und Gospelgruppen aus der Zeit vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, entwickelte sich in den Nachkriegsjahren zu voller Blüte und leistete einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Evolu- tion des Rock 'n' Roll. Tatsächlich zählen einige der bedeutendsten Kulturhistoriker Aufnahmen wie Sixty Minute Man und Gee zu den ersten Rock 'n' Roll-Platten überhaupt. Diese beiden Klassiker des Genres und vieles mehr findet sich auf BEAR FAMILYs 'Street Corner Symphonies', der definitiven Geschichte des Doo-Wop. Und wie immer können Sie BEAR FAMILY vertrauen, denn wir wissen, was wir tun. 
Die Retrospektive beginnt mit dem Jahr 1939 und Doo-Wop-Vorläufern wie dem Golden Gate Quartet, den Ink Spots und den Mills Brothers. 'Street Corner Symphonies' erzählt die Story bis zum Ende der Doo-Wop-ära 1963. Die ersten fünf CDs enthalten Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 1939 bis 1953, der goldenen ära des Doo-Wop. Es gab einfach zu viele Hits in diesen Jahren, um sie alle aufzuzählen. Es lohnt sich, mehr als einen Blick auf die Titelliste zu riskieren! Unnötig zu erwähnen, daß diese Platten den Soundtrack zur Rock 'n' Roll-Revolution lieferten... und daß sie nicht nur die amerikanische Popmusik, sondern die Unterhal- tungsmusik weltweit für immer entscheidend verändert haben.
Diese Serie wurde von Bill Dahl aus Chicago, einem der führenden Wissenschaftler für die Geschichte des Rhythm & Blues, zu- sammengestellt und kommentiert. Jeder einzelne Song ist detailliert beschrieben und illustriert. Es gab bereits etliche Doo-Wop- Zusammenstellungen, darunter sogar einige Boxen. Aber BEAR FAMILY hat das letzte Wort in diesem Genre, denn diese Serie ist endgültig! Jeder Hit, jeder Underground-Klassiker, jeder Song, der den äther in den Anfangstagen des Rock 'n' Roll hell erklin- gen ließ. Jedes 'shoop', jedes 'doop', jedes 'doo-doo-wah'!
Bear Family, the best reissue label in the world, has followed up its year-by-year survey of R & B, \Blowing The Fuse\", with a similar annual overview of vocal harmony groups, called \"Street Corner Symphonies\". Congratulations, Bear Family!
