I agree…”Runaway” by Del Shannon is quite possibly one of the best songs ever written and recorded. His vocals are just perfect.

@alexandervasel6845 Год назад

Tom Petty loved that song. In his song "Running down a dream" his line "me and del were singing, little runaway" he was talking about singing along with that song while driving.

@gregorymoore2877 Год назад

More from Del Shannon: "Runaway" (the hit that put him on the map) "Hats Off To Larry" "Keep Searching (Follow The Sun)" "I Go To Pieces" (most known by Peter & Gordon, but written by Del Shannon. Del Shannon recorded it at least twice, shortly after he first wrote it, and later in a more modern version produced by Jeff Lynne.) "Walk Away" (produced by Jeff Lynne. This might give you an idea what a ELO or Traveling Wilburys song might sound like with Del Shannon on lead vocal. Also hints at his older song "Runaway.") Del Shannon was supposed to join the Traveling Wilburys after Roy Orbison passed away, but sadly he committed suicide before this could happen.

I always think of Doo Wop as the updated rock version of barbershop quartets with the tight 4 part harmonies. And I think technically, scatting is an improv thing whereas the doo wop made up words are just a fun filler that they can all harmonize on. Plus I think.they used the feel of the words as a sort of backing "rhythm section" for the song since the original groups were doing it all a cappella on the street corner.

@johnplaysgames3120 Год назад

Yeah, exactly, all of that. Doo-wop actually started as an evolution of jazz and blues in African-American communities in the 1940s, so I think it's fair to say that the "nonsense" words of doo-wop evolved from scatting. As the style spread, it was adopted and influenced by other groups like Latin-Americans and Italian-Americans (like Dion & the Belmonts, e.g.) and became kind of an early rock 'n' roll version of a barbershop quartet with a high tenor singing lead and the other voices acting as instruments and creating the rhythm. Although doo-wop typically did have instruments (usually playing a swing beat and using the off-beat to keep time), you're right that it was a style that allowed kids to stand in stairwells, bathrooms, or on the corner of their economically-depressed neighborhood and make full-on music without instruments. And, of course, as the "scatting" evolved into those fun, funny words through the rebellious, irreverent nature of rock, obviously teens were going to adopt it because teens love anything that's fun, different, and annoys their parents.

Give 'Mr. Sandman' by 'The Chordettes' a try. It's quite iconic and came out in 1954. And definitely very soda pop shop. Another 50s track but with a very different feel is 'Istanbul, Not Constantinople' by 'The Four Lads'. It came out in 1953.

Yay! More" Oldies but Goodies" May I request "Venus" by Frankie Avalon from 1959. Frankie Avalon appears in Grease in the Beauty School Dropout scene. In the 50s he was a teen hearthrob in the 60s he starred opposite Annette Funicello in lots of "Beach" movies(surf culture was popular at that time) one of the Beach movies pokes fun at the Beatles who were popular at that time(Frankie Avalon plays a British artist called Potato bug and speaks with a British accent) The Andrews sisters would be considered "Boogie Woogie" music from the two decades before(1930s, 40s) Doo Wop in the 50s early 60s Thanks you guys ☺😀😂 PS There is a great Black and White clip of Frankie Avalon performing "Venus" here on YT 😀

"I Wonder Why" was the 1st single from Dion & The Belmonts to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked @ #22 in 1958. Between 1958 - 1970, Dion (1958 - mid-1960 w/ The Belmonts, in late 1960, as a solo artist), charted 32 singles on the Hot 100 with a late addition in 1989 "And the Night Stood Still" (featuring back-up vocals by Dave Edmunds, Patty Smyth & Mark Lennon). So 33 charted singles featuring 11 Top 10s including 1@ #1 ("Runaround Sue" -1961).

@jvsmith7888 Год назад

Most Doo Wop bands started singing on the street corners without instruments. They would often use their voices to substitute for the instruments, especially the bass. This resulted is a lot of experimentation and improvisation with the voices. This is why you hear so many sounds using the voices. It's also where the Doo Wop name came from. They would usually keep these sounds and phrases later, even when they sang with instruments.

Dion started with the group Dion and The Belmonts in mid to late '50's. Started a solo career in '61- releasing the hit "Runaround Sue" about a non-loyal lover. He answered that later that year with the hit song "The Wanderer" about a guy who "plays the field". His career spanned from the doo-wop era of the '50's and into pop, rock, R&B, folk and some blues through the 60's into the 80's. Was one of the most popular male singers during the British Invasion of the 60's. In 1968 he wrote and released the hit - "Abraham, Martin and John" (also includes Bobby in the song). He was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue in 2002; inducted into music Hall of Fame in 1989 and the the song "Run around Sue" is #351 of the top 500 songs of all time. Quite an amazing singer and songwriter.

Do wop was in the 50’s early 60’s,Big Band, swing, boogie woogie 30’s 40’s, that’s where The Andrew Sisters fall in. Scat is a vocal jazz improvisation made with wordless vocals developing melodies and rhythms use using voice as an instrument. Ella Fitzgerald was one of the greatest at this. In the 1950’s Louis Prima had a song I’m Just a Gigolo (I Ain’t Got Nobody) Three decades later David Lee Roth introduced it to a whole generation. You have to react soon to both!

The groups were singing doo-wop songs, most they made up. Dion and the Belmonts were among the best. "I Wonder Why" was about my first favorite song.

Tears on my Pillow, by Little Anthony and The Imperials!! Plus, there was a group waaaay into thev90's called Sha Na Na who covered many songs of the do wop era. Or you could do one of my favorite songs, from 1957, The Diamonds singing Daddy Cool!.

I saw an interview with Deon Delmucci and he said that he and his friends would go to clubs that had bands blowing horns, and they used that in their music replicating what they heard from the horns.

I don’t know if you watch PBS but occasionally the PBS stations will offer fundraising shows by bringing back the Doo Wop artists. In fact my southern Arizona PBS has a Doo Wop program scheduled for 7 pm Saturday evening.

a lot of this was new york street corner singing. they had no instruments so they filled it in with guys singing different parts and it was amazing. i don't know how they came up with this sound but it just grabs you and takes you in and back to what was going on in the late '50's. back then this was cutting edge and has stood the test of time. every time you hear this it seems as great as the first time. another cool dion song is "love came to me ' check it out.

DION BELMONTS FANTASTIC WONDER WHY ~

@angelomichael4156 Год назад

Dion was one of the Kings of 50s and 60s

@steveh7108 Год назад

So, I just went on a marathon of watching you two doing reactions to The Beatles And I have to laugh. Watched the very first one you did and the number one comment was: " if you're going to go down the rabbit hole of The Beatles You better pack a lunch because it's going to be a long journey". And now I have got to laugh😅🤣😂🤣😅 You went down that rabbit hole and so far you haven't even skimmed the surface of all of their great songs together and solo. But I can see you are enjoying the journey😁👍

Dion and the Belmonts were from Arthur Ave in Bronx NY. Grew up there and they were such an iconic group from those of us that grew up there ❤.

I absolutely love Doo-wop, and I am so happy to see you delving more into it! This is indeed a great one, as are most songs by Dion and the Belmonts, however my favorite Doo-wop classic of all (and my recommendation this time) is actually "Come Go with Me" by The Del-Vikings from 1957. Such a great song! I know you'll love it! EDIT: The Del-Vikings are also notable for being one of the early racially mixed groups; that was very rare in their time.

@gregorymoore2877 Год назад

Yes. "Come Go With Me" by the Del Vikings is the ULTIMATE Doo Wop song. "Whispering Bells" I believe was the B side and is... not exactly Doo Wop... but is none-the-less one of the most beautiful recordings you will ever find anywhere.

LOVE this era in music, MORE! LAST KISS by The Cavaliers is a MUST HEAR!!!

@MrVicDog Год назад

Dion is still making music, He plays the blues now and has worked with some great musicians.

@sharrongrant6240 Год назад

Now you know why we loved The Beatles after listening to this music!!

@NoggintheNog37 Год назад

All the different words and chants are designed to provide the rythm and texture to a song that today we just use instruments for. Most of these groups just stood on street corners singing for practice, they never had access to studios, never mind instruments.

@yesterdayproductions1019 Год назад

Dion & The Belmonts were Italian American guys from New York who were a great act. Great doo wop bachground vocals & great lead vocal.

@davidking8839 Год назад

My favorite doo-wop song came at the end of the era, Denise, Denise by Randy and the Rainbows. People should have been tired of doo-wop by 1963 but this song is so good that it was a big hit.

@daniellecarr5014 Год назад

I really liked Dion, Ricky Nelson, Frankie Avalon, and a host of other great singers from back in the day. I really hope that you will react to the Platters. They were huge in the 50s but more romantic and mellow. The Andrews Sisters began in the late 30s through the 50s. They entertained the troops during World War Two. Now that is an era that you two should explore. Some of the most beautiful songs were recorded then.

@fidge54 Год назад

Frankie Avalon was a great singer? Omg hahahahs

Doo Wop music was born on the street corners of East Coast urban cities like Philly and NYC. Kids hung out singing on sidewalks and stoops, experimenting and creating new sounds. What incredible ears they had. The filler parts are voices imitating instruments as white and black teenagers didn't have the money to buy them. What I find really interesting is that several doo wop singers are Italian Americans. I also love the tight doo wop harmonies. 50s music was popular in the early 70s thanks to the movie American Graffiti, TV show Happy Days and the group Sha-Na-Na who performed 50s music at Woodstock in 1969 and later went on to have their own TV show in the late 70s. Radio stations in the 60s played 50s music as well as the current hits so many Beatles, Stones and Motown fans grew up listening to doo wop. My high school friends and I used to sing doo wop in the early 70s for fun. I wish I had kept our taped recordings.
