Message: [QUOTE="Golden Husky, post: 3518150, member: 8090"] [U][B]What is considered the very first doo-wop song? The first I can remember is Earth Angel by The Crew Cuts. Mid fifties.[/B][/U][B] [/B] As you might expect, Zorro, there's some debate about this but I think many Doo-Wop devotees might cite "It's Too Soon to Know," by The Orioles, which hit the charts (R&B #1, Pop #13) in August of 1948. "Count Every Star," by The Ravens, came 20 months later, followed by "The Glory of Love," by The Five Keys, in 1951. Chronologically, those three songs pre-date "Gee," "Crying in the Chapel," "Money Honey," and "A Sunday Kind of Love," all of which were issued in 1953. The following year brought such Doo-Wop classics as The Spaniels fabulous "Goodnite Sweetheart, Goodnite" (Yes, TonyC spelling on that one), "Sh-Boom," "Gloria," "Hearts of Stone," "Earth Angel" and "Sincerely," among others. Great songs, great memories. [/QUOTE]
