My grandmother played this for me on vhs, and I was hooked. The music is just captivating, and the harmony is stunning.

I love this music. It makes me sad to see it fade and be replaced by the hard, harsh hip hop and rap garbage of today. (God, I sound like my grandparents). But I'll take Doo Wop to any other music. I wish the Public Broadcast Channel would do another special on Doo Wop, but I realize there aren't many of the guys left. Sad :-(

[@purromemes7395]

Yeah. Pray for a revival of happier days. Maybe after covid people will look for better times instead of vulgar music.

[@purromemes7395]

My generation might finally stop looking for the edge and get cozy in the middle

[@jld2664]

Best version EVER. Their voices melt my heart and turn me to mush. (Note: I wasn't even born yet when this song (Chirpin' album) was released. Just a classic for the ages.

A true masterpiece every Doo Wop lover will admit this is very special. Dr. Doo Wop

[@dorothycrawley3987]

I used to be called "Doo Wop".. growing up in the 70s I was criticized for liking music from the 50s and early 60s so I would be Ms. Doo Wop..

[@williamhatcher6265]

Takes me back to ny dad recording this on vhs in the early 90's was on pbs we watched it all the time

[@victorscena4322]

@@williamhatcher6265 I have seen the Persuasions several times and was was blown away every time. This will never be duplicated. Once in a lifetime. Did you know that Willie Winfield of the Harptones Passed away yesterday? Doo Wop for ever
