In reply to the discussion: In your opinion, best Doo-Wop song ever? [View all]MiltonBrown
(322 posts)28. Don't forget 'In the Still of the Night' by the 5 Satins
That one usually makes the best of lists.
There are so many great obscure doo wop songs too.
Five Discs- Never Let You Go
Many Many groups- Guardian Angel
There was so much romanticism in this genre. Kids singing love songs under street lamps trying to impress a girl or boy and trying to get a record contract.
Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers were the best IMO. Little brother Lewis Lymon and his Teenchords a close second for their harder hitting numbers. The Valentines, the Cadillacs, the Clovers, and EVERY bird known to humankind!
Denise by Randy and the Rainbows was another big hit- maybe the last big doo wop hit of the era.
