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, ...

Winter Light

Winter Light (1994) more music like this

by Linda Ronstadt

Winter Light could arguably be classified as Linda Ronstadt's best pop album of the 1990s. She followed up 1989's hugely successful Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind with two Spanish language albums (Mas Canciones and Frenesi), then returned with the beautiful light-pop collection that is Winter Light. This set finds Ronstadt interpreting ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Pat Boone

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Pat Boone (2000) more music like this

by Pat Boone

The title of this collection seems to suggest that the new millennium is cause for a reexamination of Boone's musical contributions. And that may be the case, if only to remember that he rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley during the early years of rock & roll, and that whereas Elvis popularized the stylings of unrecognized black artists, ...

Their Complete National Recordings 1947-1950

Their Complete National Recordings 1947-1950 (2003) more music like this

by The Ravens

The Ravens never made an impact equal to their talent, stranded as they were between the debut of black harmony pop with the Ink Spots and Mills Brothers and the doo wop explosion of the early '50s that they helped engender. And without a big hit, like contemporaries the Orioles, the group hasn't been treated with much respect by reissue labels or ...

The Best of Esther Phillips (1962-1970)

The Best of Esther Phillips (1962-1970) (1997) more music like this

by Esther Phillips

Although former child R&B star Esther Phillips really hit her mature peak in the '60s, commercially she had a hard time finding a niche. "Release Me," her uptown R&B version of a country song, made the pop Top Ten in 1962. But she only dented the charts occasionally over the course of the next decade, despite recording frequently in a number of ...

Louisville Sluggers (2006) more music like this

by Terry Adams/Steve Ferguson

Fans of America's longest-lived cult band, NRBQ, will instantly recognize the names of the two principals here as founding members of the group: Terry Adams has been the keyboardist, guiding light and resident eccentric genius of the Q since the late '60s and guitarist Steve Ferguson appeared on the band's first couple of albums before being ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Walking & Singing the Blues (2002) more music like this

by Lil Greenwood

This 22-track compilation neatly gathers everything Lil Greenwood recorded for Modern and Federal in the early '50s, though it doesn't have anything from her brief run with Specialty. It also contains four demo-sounding Modern sides, with piano serving as the only accompaniment, which haven't been issued until now. On some of this disc, Greenwood ...

Gold (2007) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington's digital discography is riddled with compilations that brandish the word "Gold," as in "Golden Classics," "Golden Hits," "Golden Songs," "Golden Greats," "Golden Stars," and "Goldies." All that glitter, however, does not necessarily describe or guarantee well-produced collections. Happily, Verve's 2007 double-disc Washington ...

The Difference Is Dinah (2000) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington is often cornered by history into the narrow confines of pop music and jazz vocals. Actually, she was a queen of song at a time when blues, jazz and R&B intersected in an advanced popular art form. Her music is celebrated in this three-CD set. On The Diff'rence Is Dinah, we hear Washington's pop songs, like "What a Difference a ...

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 ...

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 ...

This two-CD set from Proper -- the U.K. company that's been issuing multi-disc sets from a brace of American stars -- covers all of the Ravens' sides from 1946 through 1952, starting with the Hub label, prior to the arrival of tenor Maithe Marshall in the group's line-up. Those sides encompass some of the most subtle and sophisticated examples of ...
