Editorial Reviews

Before rock ’n’ roll . . . before R&B . . . there was doo wop. Drift back to a gentler time with the tunes and harmonies of the doo wop groups of the late ’50s and early ’60s. From the timeless and haunting "Since I Don’t Have You" to the upbeat "Barbara Ann," this collection of beloved music will unlock a treasure trove of memories.

The incredible PBS special Doo Wop: Vocal Group Greats Live is proof that through all the musical changes of the past 50 years, voice is the ultimate instrument and harmony is still the language of love. Doo Wop: Vocal Group Greats Live was recorded at The Sands Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on March 15 and 16, 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doo-Wop: Vocal Group Greats Lie, Vol. 1, April 5, 2007

This review is from: Doo Wop: Vocal Group Greats Live (DVD)

This DVD was great! Money well spent. I've seen enough of these PBS T.J. Labinsky shows on TV and not all the artists can sing like they used to but there are still a lot that can blow you away. I'm an old dawg from the old school and I got to tell you this dvd is good. The picture and sound quality are great and so are the performances. It's one of my favorites and I play it all the time.

The DVD"Doo wop" is a must have addition to any collection of Doo wop music; It is only one of a set of six that the lover of Doo wop music should have. This collection never gets old, The era is brought alive each time this set of DVDs are played.
