R&B WAS REALLY THE BEGINNING OF ROCK AND ROLL'S FIRST GENERATION, THEN WE HAD R & B VOCAL GROUP HARMONY
(BLACK BIRD GROUPS, THE RAVENS, THE CROWS, THEN GROUPS NAMED AFTER CARS, THE CADILLACS ETC ).
ON A WONDERFUL DAY
ME AND SOME FRIENDS WERE BOPPIN ALONG ON WEBSTER AVE AND TREMONT AVE IN THE BRONX IN THE EARLY FIFTYS WHEN A YOUNGER GUY FROM OUR BLOCK CALLED US AND SAID DID YOU EVER HEAR THIS,?
HE HAD A PORTABLE RADIO AND IT WAS PLAYING 'GEE' BY THE CROWS AND THEN 'I LOVE YOU SO' ALSO BY THE CROWS, WE ALL WERE HOOKED AND WE KEPT THE GUY WITH THE RADIO WITH US ALL DAY, HEY HE HAD A RADIO HE BECAME OUR BEST PAL.
HIS NAME IS EARL CARTER AND HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT OLD ARMY JINGLE 'BE ALL YOU CAN BE' IN THE ARMY.
I STILL HEAR FROM HIM AND I REMIND HIM ABOUT THAT DAY , MY LIFE WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER HEARING THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC,
THIS WAS THE MUSIC FOR ME, THIS STUFF WAS THE BEGINNING.
THE DOOWOP NAME FOR THIS GENRE DIDNT START TILL THE EARLY SIXTY' SUPPOSEDLY WHEN GUS GOSSERT WAS PLAYING :
'MY HEARTS DESIRE'--BY THE WHEELS, THEY KEEP SINGING DOOWOP, DOOWOP, DOOWOP, AND AFTER THE SONG WAS OVER GUS SAID THAT'S SOME GOOD DOOWOP SONG.
IVE HEARD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPRESS WHAT THEY CONSIDER DOOWOP, THIS GROUP IS DOOWOP, THAT GROUP ISNT DOOWOP,
WELL MY TWO CENTS IS, IT'S ALL DOOWOP EVEN GREAT DUETS LIKE JOHNNY AND JOES, 'OVER THE MOUNTAIN' OR 'YOUR MINE' BY ROBERT AND JOHNNY
OR 'WHATS YOUR NAME' BY DON AND JUAN OR ANY TRIO OR MORE ALL THE WAY TO FOUR OR FIVE PART HARMONYS, IT SURE MAKES ME FEEL GOOD AND I CONSIDER IT ALL DOOWOP.
ITS REALLY R&B VOCAL GROUP HARMONY. (FIRST GENERATION OF ROCK AND ROLL).
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN IDEAS, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU ENJOY IT, THEN ENJOY IT ALL.
I GUESS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IS 'I LOVE THIS MUSIC' AND I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE CALLS IT, I CANT BREATH IF I DONT HEAR THIS GREAT MUSIC EVERYDAY.
MY TWO CENTS
THANK YOU
JIMMY
