    Doo Wop was a genre all it's own. There were many groups that used this style back in the mid '50s. This is an entire rabbit hole for you to check out.

    Lead singer Fred Parris just, recently passed, it's been a couple of months. He said he wrote this song while on guard duty in the service. It was night time and things were very quiet, and he was inspired. The song was recorded in the basement of a church in New Haven. In 2017, The Satins went back to that same church and re-recorded the song with a companion video. BTW, they sounded great.

  • @CarolynStewart-v5q
    @CarolynStewart-v5q 4 місяці тому

    Shawn and Mel, this looks like a clip from a movie the 5 Satins were in. They are singing to the studio version that was on the radio. This is pure dowop. The harmonies are pure. I was just a little girl when this song was a hit on the radio. Now I'm 71 and grew up during the British invasion. But this song is just a testament on how good dowop music was way back then.

    This is what “doo-wop” is all about. Most of these groups had their origins on street corner a capella singing-they used their voices to replace musical instruments (which most of them simply couldn’t afford). Good times and great singing.

    Beautiful performance. Loved all of it. You speak about how people in the audience sat still and didn't move around much (esp. white folks). I thinks its a cultural thing and it was a different time. My parents taught me if someone was speaking or performing to keep quiet and don't be a distraction because that would be rude and impolite.
