Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 4 - 1952

The R&B vocal group landscape was shifting in 1952. Groups that would persevere all the way through to the end of the decade as hitmakers - The Dominoes, The Clovers, The Five Keys - had taken their rightful place among the elite, in turn influencing the next crop of quartets and quintets. And more newcomers were already nipping at their heels: The Royals, The Checkers, The Serenaders, The Vocaleers, The Du Droppers. Some would be more successful than others, but all made valuable contributions to the genre's legacy.

Particularly seminal was the increasing influence of gospel music, through the pioneering innovations of Dominoes lead tenor Clyde McPhatter and the unabashedly sanctified "5" Royales. Plenty more would integrate the sound of the church into the R&B lexicon as the decade progressed, but nobody did it better than those two. Time was beginning to run out on The Ravens, undergoing personnel changes aplenty even as they scored their last national hit. The Orioles weren't selling the way they once had either, but that would change. Veteran aggregations such as The Four Knights and Four Tunes struggled to stay relevant to record buyers. In the latter's case, they would find a way to achieve that soon.

More than ever, feisty independent labels such as Atlantic, Apollo, Jubilee, Red Robin, King/Federal, Savoy, and Specialty were supplying a lot of the cutting-edge vocal group platters beginning to flood the R&B market. The majors had lost their mojo in that department, ceding the field to the indie operators who kept their ears to the ground for new talent. It was certainly out there to be had, up and down the East Coast from New York City and Philly to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., harmonizing in tenement hallways and under glowing street corner lamps.

That's where the real training grounds were; a dime store demo disc or an amateur contest victory could bring an instant record contract from one of those little labels, resulting in overnight stardom for a gaggle of hungry teenagers who would have had no chance whatsoever at getting past the lead secretary at a major label's posh offices. That was the magic of the R&B vocal group movement. It spoke their language, rendering it indigenous folk music for African-American urban teens.

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'!

16 Dec 2019

Top Info, mässige Zusammenstellung, gute bis normale Qualität

Zusammenstellung könnte besser sein; historische Info top und super Booklet. Qualität gut bis normal (in Anbetracht mancher schlechter Masterbänder).

15 Dec 2019

Gute Zusammenstellung und beste Soundqualität mit Abstrichen ...

Auch hier wieder top Booklet.. aber auch an der Musikauswahl hätte man noch etwas schrauben dürfen. Da gibt es noch mehr ... bekanntes als auch seltenes

14 Dec 2019

Top Qualität - wie immer

Gutes Booklet - gutes Remastering - die Titelauswahl könnte das ein oder andere noch beinhaltet haben... sonst typisch gute Qualität von Bear Family.

13 Mar 2014

Gewohnt akribisch, umfassend und hochklassig widmet sich diese Bear Family Reihe de Geschichte des Doo Wop.
Good Times 4/12 Ulrich Schwartz
