A Taste of Doo Wop, Vol. 2

by Taste Of Doo Wop Vol. 2 / Various

Overview

The second Vee-Jay various artists anthology showcasing diverse doo-wop hits takes the same formula as its predecessor, featuring strong songs by more obscure acts rather than huge hits from established greats. The Kool Gents (a group that once included Dee Clark), the Prodigals, the Hi-Liters, and The El Dorados, plus set one holdovers The Magnificents, 5 Echoes, and Impressions are on hand providing 25 more examples of marvelous harmony singing, jump cuts, and swooning romantic ballads. ~ Ron Wynn
