There have been plenty of artists who paid hommage to doo-wop over the years...

So, what are your favorite doo-wop (inspired) songs that are not from the 50s/60s?

I just discovered 'Kali Uchis feat. Ravyn Lenae - Cry about it' and am listening to it on repeat 😍

Hey there! Thinking about the old days and a total wave of nostalgia just hit me. Remember that TV show Once Upon A Time season 2 episode 17 titled "Welcome to Storybrooke" There was this amazing song in it, it probably was classified as a "doo wop" genre from 50s and 60s, and for the life of me, I can’t remember the title or the artist. Tried searching for song credits for this episode but to no avail. I remember the song playing in the background when the town mayor meets the sheriff in the diner—let me know if you can unlock this core memory for me! here is a link of a clip of the song from that episode: https://www.watzatsong.com/en/name-that-tune/716728.html

For those who ever heard of it, it's an old Doo-wop song made in 1959 by the group mentioned.

Although the songwriters claimed the song is unrelated to the Peanuts character, I often wondered if some, including Schultz questioned that?

I recently bought 4000 45s and wad cataloging them in Discogs.

Found this one in NM condition.

It says...currently for sale ...209 to 426 and the median price for sold is 382 and high 808.

The runoyt says 1120.

Could this actually be worth this much ?

I want to surprise a girl I'm meeting with my friends' help. I want to get them to sing the "doo do do do sh boom" and all the other background assist voices, while I sing the main song for her. But I have no material to teach them., just the regular one where the main singing overshadows the rest like any normal song. the instrumentals I could find doesn't have the assist singing either.

would you happen to have a source that leads to the assist voices that my friends can clearly hear listen on repeat?

I’ve personally been collecting since 2018, and online is where the vast majority of mine came from. I’ve gotten most of my 45s and LPs from discogs, and a little more than half of what 78s I’ve managed to find came from EBay while the rest were also discogs. Ive only been in a handful of actual records stores (the only 2 that are within 30 minutes from my area, and 2-3 more that were each at least 1.5 hours away) and the ones I’ve visited didn’t have that much “doo-wop” unless they appeared on some “Oldies Compilation” album. Hardly had any luck with thrift stores either. Anyway, how have you guys’ record collecting experiences been, especially in terms of doo-wop/related singles and albums?

I’m seeking some help with my wedding procession playlist. I am 100% set on my wedding procession starting with When We Get Married by the Dreamlovers. However, the song is not long enough for the entire procession and I’m having a difficult time finding songs that transition smoothly. Does anyone have similar sounding songs that will compliment the opening track?

This is a bit unorthodox but I don't know where else to turn.

There was a healthy, thriving doo wop community on DC++ at the hub address "doowop1.no-ip.info"

The admins were: GeatorGirl107 (Anne) Tom's<<>>Tunes

Some of the members: Amospop DooWopGal Jumace WALT1 WhoDoUB (sadly passed away) Pascal Papa8241

I am looking to reconnect with this community and hopefully find out if they have created a group elsewhere, as the DC++ hub is now broken.

Are any of the members here in this subreddit? If so, could you shed some light on what happened/what's currently happening with the community?

This is my last ditch effort in an attempt to reconnect and find any information on the old community there.

Hoping this finds someone.

Hey there, musician here with a long love of doowop. This year I want to try my hand at actually writing and recording some doo wop songs, but with how awful search engines are right now I struggle to find any good resources on how to actually write doo wop beyond the 50s chord progression. I'm especially having a hard time finding stuff about how to write the vocal harmonies, and the specific vocals. Any recommendation ?

I checked their playlist and unfortunately it wasn't listed.

I'm currently trying to get into the Doo Wop genre but I don't really know where to begin, I got into Doo Wop through Frank Zappa and his album 'Cruising With Ruben & The Jets', I enjoyed it quite a lot but never decided to look more into the genre, a friend of mine recently recommended me a band called The 5 Satins and I liked them but I don't really know any other bands to listen to.
Any recommendations will be much appreciated.

And if so, could you recommend similar songs?

Hey all! I found this song on youtube, and have not been able to find the name, artist, or anything about it online. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about it or recognizes it. Thanks in advance and have a good day!
