Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 5 - 1953
The R&B vocal group explosion was in full swing by 1953. Incendiary gospel-fueled tenor Clyde McPhatter had broken away from Billy Ward's Dominoes to do his own thing as front man for The Drifters, who would reign as the country's top R&B vocal aggregation well into the '60s soul era, even if Clyde had left them long before to pursue a solo career. The Clovers, Dominoes, Orioles, Swallows, and Robins had been joined on the circuit by a slew of promising newcomers, many of whom would rapidly ascend to peer status. The Moonglows, Flamingos, Platters, Harptones, Spaniels, and Spiders all made their debuts in 1953, several scoring hits right off the bat and every one of them launching careers built to last.
Rock and roll loomed on the horizon and R&B vocal groups played a mammoth role in its fiery ignition, even if conventional history books sometimes overlook that fact. The Crows' smash Gee racked up considerable pop crossover action thanks to its carefree up-tempo feel, catchy melody, and innocuous lyrics, though the song took its sweet time climbing the charts, not really making a national impact until the following year. Notable vocal groups were popping up in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Nashville (behind prison bars, no less), and New Orleans, underscoring that the movement wasn't primarily limited to the coasts anymore. Yet the Northeast still harbored more groups than anywhere else. Harlem remained a teeming hotbed, as did Philly, Baltimore, and Washington D.C.
Apart from The Four Tunes, who staged an impressive comeback after leaving the security of a major label for feisty indie Jubilee Records and scoring their biggest seller in eons with Marie, the old guard had largely been forgotten by African-American record buyers. Young groups plucked right off the street corners of urban America were making a lot of chart noise and scoring a lot of hits. Harmonies didn't have to be impeccably polished any longer; feeling mattered more. Roaring sax solos and socking backbeats were more prevalent as tempos ratcheted upwards. Of course, a tender, intimate love ballad was always welcome.
In most cases, vocal group platters were released on independent R&B labels rather than the majors that had once marketed The Ink Spots and Mills Brothers so vigorously. The industry was changing fast, and the majors were scrambling to keep up. Little did they know what lurked just around the next bend.

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'!
With a minimum of 30 tracks per disc there's a wealth of obscurities to investigate that are worth singing about.
