Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 7 - 1955

More R&B vocal groups than ever populated the musical landscape in 1955, the majority of them aiming their sound directly at the rock and roll demographic that was expanding every day. Those new groups were getting younger too. Frankie Lymon, the pubescent lead tenor of The Teenagers, was all of 13 when their debut single Why Do Fools Fall In Love took the country by storm late in the year. It spawned an avalanche of 'kiddie lead' imitators, particularly in New York and on the East Coast, where devoted fans simply couldn't get enough of the new sound.

A lot of heavy hitters continued to thrive in '55. The Moonglows, Clovers, Five Keys, Midnighters, Robins, Charms, Spiders, and Cardinals were still going strong. The Drifters were in flux, thanks to Clyde McPhatter receiving his draft notice, but that didn't stop them from posting one smash after another as the lead torch passed from Clyde to Johnny Moore. A slew of newcomers found their way onto the R&B hit parade, even as weak white covers often deep-sixed the superior originals from crossover contention. The Cadillacs, El Dorados (autos were now rivaling birds as group names), Nutmegs, Colts, Hearts, Turbans, Diablos, Four Fellows, Jacks, and Marigolds climbed the charts for the first time, the sort of wholesale youth movement that was unheard of in years past.

Biggest of all were The Platters. They weren't recording neophytes; they'd cut a series of R&B singles for Cincinnati-based Federal Records that few people had noticed. But since their manager Buck Ram got the Los Angeles quintet signed to the major Mercury label and steered them in more of a pop direction, The Platters had polished their sound to a bright sheen. Tony Williams' stratospheric lead tenor possessed a universal accessibility that would render them the top-selling black vocal group of their era.

More than ever, the instrumental backing was as exciting as the groups themselves. Once upon a time, The Ink Spots and The Mills Brothers operated with the sparsest of accompaniments. Now sizzling sax solos by session aces Sam 'The Man' Taylor, Jimmy Wright, Red Holloway, and Lee Allen jacked up excitement levels to the boiling point. This was cutting edge music for teens and the young at heart; the socking backbeats that drove it reflected that. Vocal groups were a hotter commodity than ever on the R&B and rock and roll circuits.

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'!
