EXTRA Material (1 bonus song on Volume One + all of Volume Two + all of Volume Three)
Doo Wop Cavalcade 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.
Volume One. 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, “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” to the upbeat “Little Darlin’,” this collection of beloved music will unlock a treasure trove of memories. This volume includes one bonus song not in broadcast program, and the songs are a mix of live performance and archival material.
Volume Two. Pompadours and poodle skirts, sock hops and souped-up Chevys; these images of the late 1950s and early 1960s were set against the smooth harmonic croonings of the doo wop vocal groups. Travel back and remember the best of times. From the heartbreak of “The Great Pretender” by The Platters to the jive beat of The Cadillacs’ “Speedoo,” these songs have become our personal life stories. Live them again. All songs are live performances.
Volume Three. The third volume keeps the melodies sweet and the harmonies full and fluid. Snuggle up with the smooth sounds of “Harbor Lights” by The Platters and The Moonglows’ “Sincerely.” Like the finest brandy, these songs get better with age. All songs are live performances.
