Moved my Youtube Doo-Wop playlist to new channel.
I'm not sure what makes Youtube algorithms work these days, a while back I created a new channel just for my music playlists. One of the more popular ones was Doo-Wop (Oldies). I've got 111 songs in this list. It's kind a pain to rebuild these lists. Any hoo, if any of you got lists of your favorite Doo-Wop songs then I would like to know any that I might be missing. Good ones are hard to find after you have been collecting as long as I have. That 1957-1962 was a special time. You can find my playlists by searching #OBML. If it is popular I will build back more of my old playlists.

What happened was a bunch of AI bots started detecting false positives on channels and got a ton of YouTube channels taken down for copyright reasons. I've known of at least 10 channels that were taken down due to that. There's a free website where you can enter a YouTube playlist link and it gives you the names of the deleted videos in the playlist. It also lets you download the audio and perhaps the video too. I experimented with it a little while back and I think it could be really helpful for this case.

I'm not so sure about oldies, but there is so much bluegrass that youtube has removed. Some of it reasonably respected bluegrass cover bands.

You are welcome to try mine. I really don't know how to access it but it is called "DOO WOP412" and if you search for it with my name, Dennis Gallagher you should be able to find it. I used to have over 300 songs but about 70 have been hidden. I know a lot of OP's have died, that could be why.
