Over The Top Doo Wops, Vol. 2
A true underground music of the 1950s, doo wop (it didn't even have a name until its heyday was over) represented a form of folk art that was most often practiced on urban street corners, playgrounds and high schools across the USA by young (predominantly male) vocal quartets. Here is another delicious helping of uptempo doo-woppin' tracks from that era by no-hit wonders like the Court Jesters, Mixers, Five Vets and Tony Rice and the Overtones as well as better-known units like the Rainbows, Sentimentals, Four Buddies & The Willows. All are prime examples of the type of music that teenagers across the country were listening and dancing to when a drive-in hamburger cost fifteen cents and 45rpm records (at 89 cents a piece) were considered the backbone of the music industry. So enjoy! TRACKS: 1. Roaches - Court Jesters 2. Johnny's Got A Girlfriend - Mixers 3. Do You Wanna Rock - Four Kings 4. Mary Lee - Rainbows 5. I Want To Love You - Sentimentals 6.
