UK four CD collection. Doo Wop is the name given to the vocal style, initially unaccompanied, that evolved on the streets of New York and other American cities immediately after World War II. The style has informed much great music since, most notably Motown Soul, but the likes of the Platters, Little Anthony and the Imperials and The Prisonaires, not to mention the Pips, in a rare Gladys Knight-less outing, here offer the style in its purest, exciting and most unadulterated form. Take a trip to more harmonious days with this vocal banquet.
