Earth Angel by the Penguins and In The Still Of The Night by the Five Satins are considered the two most popular Doo Wop songs of all time. When the Crew Cuts made their recording was at a time when a number of white acts were covering songs by black artists in an attempt to make them appeal to the white teenager. However, most white teenagers preferred the original recordings. Earth Angel was by far not the first Doo Wop song. [/QUOTE]
