Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 6 - 1954

Rock 'n' roll was busting out all over in 1954 and R&B vocal groups were in its vanguard, even if the history books don't always report it that way. The Chords' Sh-Boom, The Midnighters' Work With Me Annie (sleazy lyrics and all), The Charms' Hearts Of Stone, and Shirley Gunter and The Queens' Oop Shoop were rocking jukeboxes from coast to coast.

Of course, intimate love ballads remained an integral part of the vocal group scene too. 1954 brought a bumper crop, led by The Moonglows' Sincerely, The Penguins' Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine), and The Spaniels' Goodnite Sweetheart, Goodnite. These slow, sensuous themes were aimed solely at the teenage market and connected bigtime. No longer was it necessary for groups to display ultra-polished harmonies; teens looked for lyrics they could identify with and a beat they could dance to. The major labels responded with an unprecedented number of white pop covers, robbing the original artists of much of their crossover potential (Mercury and Dot were especially active in the cover sweepstakes). But R&B fans (and hip white teenagers) knew that the superior originals were worth seeking out, even if it required a trip to the record shop on the other side of town.

More new groups than ever filled the airwaves, and more new indie labels were being formed to meet the growing demand for product. Los Angeles was hopping as budding entrepreneurs leaped into the fray. It was still tough to propel a West Coast hit over the Rocky Mountains, though Earth Angel on bandleader Dootsie Williams' self-named DooTone Records certainly succeeded. Fortune Records began to investigate Detroit's vocal group scene with The Diablos' haunting The Wind, while New Orleans spawned The Spiders and The Hawks.

The East Coast remained the sound's primary stronghold. Clyde McPhatter's Drifters set the pace along with The Clovers, Harp-Tones, Five Keys, Solitaires, Cadillacs, and many more. Philly hosted its share, notably newcomers Lee Andrews and The Hearts and The Capris. As great a role as Elvis, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard played in rock and roll's explosion, the impact of the groups populating this compilation should never be discounted. Their sweet harmonies counterpointed the wild gyrations of Presley and Berry, making it just a tad easier for suspicious parents to accept rock 'n' roll into their formerly sedate homes.

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'!
