Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story of Doo Wop
Volume 3 - 1951
The old guard continued to steadily lose ground within the black vocal group firmament in 1951. The Mills Brothers, Ink Spots, and Delta Rhythm Boys were fast receding into the history books as guaranteed hitmakers, their once-groundbreaking sounds growing increasingly dated. Some veteran outfits such as Steve Gibson and The Red Caps gravitated in a more overtly R&B-oriented direction. Even The Ravens and Orioles, the two hottest groups of the immediate postwar era, had cooled off considerably; neither cracked the R&B charts the entire year despite releasing nothing but quality releases in both cases.
The next wave of younger groups - many profoundly influenced by The Ravens and Orioles - began to make their presence felt in no uncertain terms. The Clovers got noticeably bluesier after they signed with Atlantic, scoring two consecutive number one R&B smashes. Their labelmates, The Cardinals, hit big their first time out, as did The Four Buddies and The Swallows. It took The Five Keys all of two releases to crack the bigtime. Intriguingly, all of those groups hailed from Washington D.C., Baltimore, or Virginia, reminding us just how East Coast-centric the burgeoning vocal group movement remained. A handful of important groups - The Hollywood Flames, The Robins - were based in Los Angeles, but New York remained ground zero when it came to recording black vocal aggregations.
Having hit the R&B arena with a seismic impact the previous year thanks to his gospel-drenched vocal delivery, Clyde McPhatter continued to alter the concept of the secular group sound with The Dominoes in 1951, though his fellow Domino, bass singer Bill Brown, was out front on their gargantuan smash Sixty-Minute Man. The Royals - soon renamed The "5" Royales - took the sanctified approach one step further: the entire aggregation sounded like they were in standing in church despite the decidedly non-religious lyrics of their first R&B release, Give Me One More Chance. Like several other groups on this collection, they hailed from the Carolinas, where the spiritual influence seemed to run bone-deep (The Larks also had roots there).
Most of these newly emerging groups would continue to score hits as the decade progressed.

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'!
Die Aufmachung der CDs ist, wie von Bear Family nicht anders zu erwarten, natürlich vorzüglich! Die Silberlinge sind randvoll, und die Liner Notes von Bill Dahl sind von nicht zu übertreffender Akkuratesse und Detailfülle.
