Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 15 - 1963

The doo-wop era was fast drawing to a close. Many of the top vocal groups had either broken up or ventured into other musical directions. Yet one of the biggest hits of 1963 out of Philadelphia, The Tymes' breathtaking So Much In Love, was textbook street corner doo-wop.

They weren't the only newcomers embracing the classic approach. Randy & The Rainbows' Denise certainly looked back to an earlier time. So did Vito & The Salutations' unique interpretation of the traditionally stately Unchained Melody (they daringly transformed it into a raging bopper). The Rivingtons unleashed their mighty bass singer anew on The Bird's The Word, while The Earls kept the doo-wop torch alight by combining the sound with contemporary touches.

Never had more girl groups made hits. Not only were The Shirelles still hot in their own right, they likely provided early inspiration to The Ronettes, Jaynetts, Cookies, Blue Belles, Chiffons, and Martha & The Vandellas. Mixed-gender groups were no longer extraordinary. The Essex cast a female as lead singer for an all-male crew (decked out in Marine togs, no less), while The Orlons and Drew-Vels reversed that image with three gals and a gent minus the military garb.

The Drifters still trafficked heavily in suave uptown soul, as did The O'Jays. Smooth ballad-oriented Caucasian outfits such as The Classics and Duprees made their share of pop chart noise, their MOR-shaded approach offset by raucous R&B dance fare from The Five Du-Tones and Ideals (both Chicago-based). It was the soul aggregations that presaged the immediate future. The Impressions, King Pins, Falcons, Miracles, Temptations, Tams, and Artistics felt the winds of stylistic change and positioned themselves accordingly, incorporating varying levels of gospel influence into their compelling styles. The R&B charts already looked very different than they had a brief time before; soon the great majority of the groups that had dominated them in the not so distant past would be but a fond memory for the majority of their fans, dispatched to the oldies circuit forevermore.

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'!

besser geht es nicht!

Mit dieser Serie ist Bear Family Records wirklich ganz wie beworben die ULTIMATIVE Compilation zum Thema Doo Wop gelungen. Phantastisch!

Kurz und gut: Wer sich etwas Gutes tun will, sollte sich diese Reihe komplett zulegen - dann ergeben die CD-Rücken nebeneinander im CD Regal auch ein schönes Bild.
