Doo Wop captures the spirit of an era in spectacular visuals, revealing the roots of the 60s music explosion. With abundant background information and enticing images, it covers way more than just the gorgeous harmonies of the unforgettable doo wop groups. The 50s were rich in cultural events and iconic performances, and this landmark volume traces the development of the music, politics, art, architecture, and popular culture throughout this exciting and remarkable period. Each chapter delves into one or more years and focuses on the transformative events of the day. Youll meet the pioneers who started it all, including bands like The Drifters; discover how the songs we love emerged from African rhythms and culture; see Marlon Brando roar in to transform squeaky-clean youth in The Wild One; look at the 50s sex symbols, like Bardot and Monroe; and watch the music grow up. The pages teem with archival photography, posters, album covers, newspaper articles, magazine covers, lyrics, and more.
