Street Corner Symphonies
The Complete Story Of Doo Wop
Volume 8 - 1956
If this collection sounds like it rocks a little harder than its predecessors in this series, it's no misconception. The first flowering of rock and roll was in full bloom during 1956, and R&B vocal groups followed the trend, their waxings enriched by scorching sax solos and storming tempos.
There were plenty of familiar names riding the airwaves. The Drifters had survived the loss of Clyde McPhatter quite nicely, sharing the upper reaches of the R&B hit parade with their labelmates The Clovers as well as other proven hitmakers such as The Spaniels, Moonglows, and Platters. But the great majority of groups populating this disc are first-timers, testifying to the continuous turnover in popular aggregations during the early days of rock and roll. The Ravens and Orioles were still cutting platters, but precious few teenagers cared.
The Coasters were making their first hits under the savvy eye of producer/writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. So were several Chicago groups, notably The Dells, Magnificents, and Flamingos. L.A. was represented by The Cadets (actually a ringer; they'd scored the previous year as The Jacks) and Jaguars. But as always, New York churned out more new groups per square mile than any other city. The Channels, Willows, Heartbeats, Bop-Chords, Pretenders, Cookies, and plenty more made classic platters in 1956, joining recently crowned stars Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers on the highly competitive Gotham scene. The Teenagers were extremely influential, thanks to Lymon's 'kiddie lead' sound. Frankie's little brother Lewis started his own Teenchords, and Jimmy Castor's Juniors plowed much the same ground - and they were only the tip of the iceberg.
Of all the seminal group recordings released in '56, perhaps the most enduring wasn't done in a studio at all. The Five Satins' immortal ballad In The Still Of The Nite was taped in a chilly church basement in New Haven, Connecticut, its sonic limitations more than offset by the timeless yearning in Fred Parris' lead vocal. James Brown and The Famous Flames offered vivid insight into the future of the vocal group genre with their intense debut single, the gut-wrenching Please, Please, Please. Like The '5' Royales and Ray Charles before him and countless acts to follow, Brown presaged the rise of soul, his Famous Flames' rough-hewn harmonies more in line with Southern gospel quartets than the polished doo-woppers on the East Coast.

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'!
Yet again, Bear Family are the best record company in the world.
