I'm still oing to have to give all of them a couple more listens to pull a final verdict but I can say from what I've seen that your taste in Doo Wop is impeccable :).
Thanks for the recs Moofu my man. You're free to tell me any songs to listen to whenever you want! |

As for how I got into it, it's a good question. I guess I've always liked acapella music (Boyz II Men's I Do and Shai's If I Ever Fall In Love are some of my fav tracks). Then, I saw the movie A Bronx Tale and they had a doo wop group singing "I Only Have Eyes For You" on a corner and it just hit me like, this is basically a genre of music that is all acapella. Downloaded the Pretenders greatest hits album and it's been love ever since :).
How'd you get into it? |

Yea, it's good to see another fan. I don't know many acts (so any recommendations are appreciated!) but I LOVE the Platters.
My favorite track is "The Great Pretender" but some others that I love include:
Only You
Magic Touch
My Prayer
Shake, Rattle, Roll
They also had a track about spinning a roulette wheel or something that I really liked. What's on your list?
