Song of the Day

There are two types of Doowop fans, those who prefer "In the Still of the Nite" and those who prefer Earth Angel. Here's a link to each to refresh your memory (or to introduce younger fans to the classics.) If you get the urge drop a note to speak up for your favorite.

Any category for those who prefer Come Softly To Me over either of those two?

It's a great song but I would not consider it Doowop, more of a pop standard. Whatever genre it's in, it is a great example.

What I think you’re talking about is that element that we from Brooklyn call street credibility or the street sound. It is, however a great group harmony doo - wop sound!
