The Doo Wop Box

The Doo Wop Box (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rhino's four-disc collection The Doo Wop Box may not contain every classic doo wop single ever recorded, but it comes damn close. Featuring 100 tracks, superb sound, and amazingly detailed liner notes, the set is one of the best various-artist box sets ever assembled; although these four discs will be all the doo wop some listeners will ever need, ...

Crying in the Chapel (2005) more music like this

by The Orioles

As part of Collectables' Great Group Series , the Orioles are featured on this budget-priced compilation. Among the ten tracks are the original versions of their two chart-topping hits, "Tell Me So" (1948) and "Crying in the Chapel" (1953), along with lesser-heard items such as "Waiting," "Trust in Me," "I Cover the Waterfront," and "Hold Me, ...

Doo Wop 51 Live!

Doo Wop 51 Live! (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Doo Wop 51: Live! isn't for everybody, nor is it for every doo wop fan, either. It's for the fan who loves the singing and loves nostalgia -- the kind who wants to hear the great groups reunite, in some form, and sing their hits years later. This isn't necessarily the same thing as being a doo wop fanatic, since there are plenty of ravenous doo ...

Spotlite on Jubilee Records, Vol. 3 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The third volume of the Spotlite on Jubilee Records series is an enjoyable program of original doo wop from the '50s. Some of the genre's most revered names are featured: the Orioles, the Ravens, the Sultans, and the Dominos. Also featured are obscure tracks from Fat Man Humphries and 4 Notes, the Marylanders, and the Toppers, with one of the all ...

Sing Their Greatest Hits

Sing Their Greatest Hits (1991) more music like this

by The Orioles

This Orioles hit package is about equal to any other that's available, but pales next to the Bear Family boxed set. The now defunct Murray Hill also had a great Orioles box several years ago. Save your money and grab the Bear Family if you really want the real story on The Orioles. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

The Dawn of Doo-Wop

The Dawn of Doo-Wop (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

England's Proper label issued this 100-track attempt to sum up the state of black harmony groups between 1940 and 1952. Though there's a lot of incredible music from the era, this four-disc set overly concentrates on slow ballads instead of up-tempo numbers. The first disc, "Digging the Roots," begins right where it should, with tracks by the ...

Doo Wop Christmas [Rhino]

Doo Wop Christmas [Rhino] (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although seven of the 18 tracks included here have appeared on other Rhino collections, any doo wop Christmas compilation would rightfully have to include The Orioles' otherworldly "(It's Gonna Be A) Lonely Christmas" -- cut in November of 1948, it is the earliest track present. Others include The Drifters' "White Christmas," The Penguins' "Jingle ...

This includes the original version (1947) of "Merry Christmas, Baby" by Johnny Moore's Three Blazers, featuring Charles Brown's smoother-than-brandy vocals; jump-blues from Mabel Scott on "Boogie-Woogie Santa Claus"; vocal group contributions from The Orioles and the Cadillacs; Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph, Run"; and five more.

by Various Artists

Volume two of this fascinating series delves into the tunes Presley recorded and covered after being inducted into the military in 1958 and finishing with his last Top 15 hit in the 1970s, Chuck Berry's "Promised Land." Sequenced chronologically, the highlights include Ketty Lester's "Love Letters," Hank Snow's "A Fool Such As I," Lowell Fulson's ...

Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits (1991) more music like this

by Sonny Til & The Orioles

A bit of a ringer, as these aren't the original recordings, but recuts for C.P. Parker's label from 1962. This group of Orioles is an all-star one, however, with members of the Spaniels, the Castelles and the Dreams counted in the lineup. As for the star of the show, Sonny Til sounds very much the way he did some ten years earlier, and the strong ...

Murray the K's Sing Along with the Original Golden Gassers (1961) more music like this

by Various Artists

This collection of vintage pop, doo wop and rock & roll was handpicked by legendary New York DJ Murray the K. Compilations like this are a dime a dozen, and Murray the K's Sing Along with the Original Golden Gassers is no exception. That said, with strong selections that include Jimmie Rodgers' "Honeycomb," the Heartbeats "Thousand Miles Away," ...

Spotlite on Jubilee Records, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Nice collection of obscure tracks from Jubilee Records, with the spotlight on many of the vocal-group treasures lurking in their vaults. Unfortunately, as is usually the case with Collectables, there's no recording information or liner notes of any kind to illuminate when or where or how these incredible recordings were created. That aside, there ...

For Collectors Only (1992) more music like this

by Sonny Til & the Orioles

Led by the sultry tenor voice of Sonny Til, the Orioles -- in spite of being regarded by many as the originators of doo wop -- have been poorly served in the CD era, with most of the collections available consisting of re-recorded versions of their late-'40s and early-'50s hits. There is the massive and definitive six-disc box from Bear Family, of ...

Doo Wop Greats (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

No pop genre has so poetically charted the yearnings of new love as doo wop, with its endless pleas for romance under the stars and its pledges of complete devotion in the moonlight, as if, as the Penguins sing in "Earth Angel," love itself was of celestial origin. That song is collected here in this three-disc set of classic vocal group tracks, ...

Birth of Rhythm & Blues (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

While rhythm & blues has a pedigree stretching back to the dawn of the 20th century, it was only in the late '30s that smaller groups began jumping with the energy of swing and the spirit of the blues. The Birth of Rhythm & Blues, a three-disc box from Golden Stars, trawls through the subsequent decade and casts a wide net over the jazz, blues, ...

Doo Wop Collection [Box] (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

This three-disc budget collection has a ton of 1950s vocal group hits, although it might be stretching things a bit to call all of them doo wop, at least in the standard definition of the term. That said, this is a party in a box, ranging from the expected ("Earth Angel" by the Penguins, "The Great Pretender" by the Platters) to the slightly ...

The Jubilee Recordings (1993) more music like this

by The Orioles

This exhaustive six-CD box set shows you all the reasons why The Orioles, led by smooth-as-silk vocalist Sonny Til, were one of the most pivotal, if not the most important, of all the early Black vocal groups. The group's honey-smooth harmonies perfectly frame Til's soaring, sexy vocals against the simplest of backgrounds on their earliest sides, ...

The Ultimate Christmas Album, Vol. 5: WOGL 98.1 Philadelphia collects more pop and rock holiday tunes, this time venturing further into the '70s and '80s with songs like Paul McCartney & Wings' "Wonderful Christmastime," Hall & Oates' "Jingle Bell Rock," and Barry Manilow's "It's Just Another New Year's Eve."
