<description><![CDATA[People all over the world recognize Smokey Robinson's sweet voice within a bar or two. His deceptively light sound defines soulful romance, and it helped place his band the Miracles at the top of the charts throughout the 1960s. Robinson is also an exceptional songwriter (with such credits as the Temptations' "My Girl" under his belt) and a businessman who helped Berry Gordy build the Motown juggernaut. During the sex-mad '70s, Robinson shifted into contemporary crooner mode and his excellent hit album <I>A Quiet Storm</I> provided the name and musical template for the simmering urban love genre that has helped keep our nurseries and daycare centers full.

<description><![CDATA[One of the longest lived groups in rock 'n' roll, the Drifters began playing in the early 1950s after R&B legend Clyde McPhatter left Billy Ward & the Dominoes to strike out on his own. Since that time, the Drifters have seen a revolving membership that includes Johnny Moore (who stepped in after McPhatter was drafted), Ben E. King and Rudy Lewis all filling in on lead vocal duties. The Drifters are probably best known for their songs "Under the Boardwalk," and "This Magic Moment." However, the Drifters not only pulled in audiences around the world, they also kept a fairly regular presence on the charts during their lengthy career. Their lush vocal stylings had a timeless quality that changed just enough to stay fresh. From smooth crooning to vibrant, leaping Gospel songs, the Drifters kept their cool for almost 50 years.

<description><![CDATA[After producer and songwriter Buck Ram got a hold of a group, he performed a certain magic. It worked with the Penguins and it worked with the Platters. Ram transformed the Platters from a run-of-the-mill Doo-Wop group to one of the best-known and most-loved Oldies groups around. Aside from recording some of the most classic, spine-tingling makeout music ever, the Platters earned the distinction of being the first black group to have a No. 1 hit on the (usually all-white) pop charts. Many disc jockeys, club owners, and listeners thought the Platters were white, as the group provided the soundtrack for generations of awkward teens' first sweaty-palmed, clumsy slow dance. Although "Great Pretender" and "Only You" are the most instantly recognizable Platters hits, the velvet throat of Tony Williams led the Platters to a number of Top-40 hits through the early part of the '60s.

<description><![CDATA[Singer-songwriter Dion first hit it big while singing lead for Bronx doo-woppers the Belmonts, a group credited as being one of the best and most innovative Doo-Wop groups of the era. Being white surely helped the Belmonts rise above many of their African-American peers; nevertheless, Dion masterfully combined suave Vocal Pop with more energetic R&B, giving the group a lively, passionate sound that still wasn't too abrasive for parents. Their biggest hit (and Oldies standard) "Teenager In Love" showcases the peak of Dion and the Belmonts' skills, and stands today as one of the greatest Doo-Wop songs ever.

<description><![CDATA[The Coasters were one of the greatest vocal acts of the 1950s, and their songs remain among the most entertaining in pop history. They had numerous hits (almost all penned and produced by the legendary Leiber & Stoller), but the two tracks that still play heavily today are "Yakety Yak" and "Charlie Brown." However, as perfect as these two songs are, the rest of the Coasters' catalog offers plenty of humor, irony and sly social observations. Many of Lieber & Stoller's finest numbers, from "Three Cool Cats" to "Smokey Joe's Cafe" to "Riot in Cell Block #9," were vehicles for the Coasters and deserve to be heard as often as "Yakety Yak."

<description><![CDATA[Yes, this is the group that took "Shining Star" to the top of the charts in 1980. But long before that, the Manhattans had proved themselves to be a stellar vocal Soul group. From the moment they scored their first hit in 1965, they always seemed to have bucketloads of R&B and crossover pop hits that reflected the changing times -- from sophisticated Soul to Disco and beyond. These days, the Manhattans still tour the world and show how it's done.

<description><![CDATA[Beginning as a five man outfit of skilled Doo-Wop crooners in 1953, the Dells first hit the chart jackpot with "Oh, What a Night," a simmering bit of lush balladry that showcased the band's ability to weave their vocals into plush, layered harmonies. A near decade-long hiatus followed, but their status as a hit-making factory was cemented in the mid-1960s when they churned out a series of hits that shook off Doo-Wop's genteel mannerisms for the grittier sounds of Soul. Led by the contrasting voices of Marvin Junior and Johnny Carter, the Dells' songs traded lead vocals between the gruff 'n' tumble Junior and silky voiced Carter, resulting in a patchwork of sound that was both dynamic and compelling.

<description><![CDATA[Led by the brilliant Curtis Mayfield, the Impressions spear-headed the transformation of doo-wop into Soul music. Mayfield looked to the smooth strains of Gospel music rather than to other street corner vocal groups and wrote deceptively simple, stripped-down arrangements on such classics as "It's All Right." Always an elegant, harmony-rich outfit, the Impressions started referencing the civil rights struggle on such hits as "People Get Ready" and "This is My Country" without ever getting heavy-handed or forgetting about crafting great songs. Mayfield became an R&B mover and shaker, writing and producing for other acts before going on to an impressive solo career in 1970. The Impressions carried on without their leader after 1970 and their later work, while not groundbreaking, remained top-shelf Soul. The Impressions left an R&B legacy equal to that of Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder.

<description><![CDATA[Starting off as a Doo-Wop sensation in the 1950s, the Imperials have never lost the swinging choral sensibility that made them the darlings of the scene. They had a string of solid hits clear into the '70s, including "Tears on My Pillow," "So Much" and "Going Out of My Head." And no wonder: as Little Anthony's precious, high-pitched tenor soars and clips itself in mock agony over the Imperials' saccharine "ooh"s, everything has to be well.

<description><![CDATA[Having two hits ("Whispering Bells" and "Come Go With Me") helped elevate the Del-Vikings into the stratosphere of the crowded Doo-Wop world. Despite being one of the most popular Doo-Wop groups -- and the first integrated act to really make it big -- the Del-Vikings' career was mired by military careers and, to a greater extent, complicated contractual string-pulling that had a number of different versions of the group recording the same songs for different labels. Regardless of the behind-the-scenes mess, the Dell Vikings' songs stand as some of the strongest, warmest Doo-Wop numbers ever recorded.

<description><![CDATA[The Vogues were a swell band from Pittsburgh who meshed bleached Doo-Wop with Garage Pop in the pre-hippie '60s. Their folkified "Five O'clock World" remains one of the joys of AM radio but soon after it hit the charts they transformed themselves into a more traditional vocal quartet. At their best the Vogues sounded like the Byrds turning the Lettermen onto a whole new scene.

<description><![CDATA[Beginning in 1951, Chicago vocal group the Flamingos presaged the Doo-Wop era by several years. Best known for their smooth, sophisticated harmonies and lush orchestration, the group struck gold in 1959 with the crossover hit "I Only Have Eyes for You," a song younger listeners may recognize for its constant use in various television commercials over the years. Amazingly, the group scored chart hits until 1970, and to this day they remain a favorite of vocal group aficionados.

<description><![CDATA[Though you'd never know it from their legendary status, the Penguins were a one-hit wonder. However, a song like "Earth Angel" is more than most groups could ever hope for. The Penguins were a Los Angeles-area Doo-Wop group under the tutelage of producer/songwriter Buck Ram, who also had success nurturing the career of the Platters. Upon its release, radio stations were bombarded with requests for "Earth Angel," and the song subsequently rose up the charts. In 1955, "Earth Angel" reached No. 1on the R&B charts, and hit No. 8 on the usually all-white pop charts. The Penguins' success helped clear the way for the Platters, the first black group to top the pop charts. The Penguins never had another chart-topping song, but most of their material stands as some of the finest Doo-Wop ever recorded.

<description><![CDATA[One of the rock 'n' roll/doo-wop groups that had a hand in breaking down the barrier between black and white audiences in the 1950s, the Cadillacs are best known for their big hit "Speedo," a hopping doo-wop/R&B hybrid inspired by the nickname of lead singer Earl Carroll. Formed in Harlem in 1953, the group was signed to Josie Records and released a reworking of the 1948 Mills Brothers song "Gloria" in 1954. "Speedo" landed a year later and captured the minds of the teenage record-buying public as it crossed over from R&B rotations to widespread pop airplay, cracking the Top 20. As was often the case with doo-wop groups, the Cadillacs split into several different iterations featuring various "original" members in the '60s, and Carroll himself eventually joined the Coasters. Following decades of intermittent activity, Carroll reformed the Cadillacs in the 1990s and began performing regularly on PBS.

<description><![CDATA[Like many Doo-Wop artists, Bobby Day had many near hits but never really struck gold. Day was part of the Los Angeles Doo Wop scene in the '50s, performing in the Hollywood Flames and the Satellites. Days' most notable songs include the raucous "Rockin' Robin" and the more easygoing "Over and Over."

<description><![CDATA[New York Doo-Wop band with one minor hit in 1961, "My True Story." After their slight brush with success, the Jive Five's career began to falter. They changed their sound to solid Soul, which they stuck with throughout the '60s and '70s.

<description><![CDATA[Dion's old backing trio, named for their avenue in the Bronx, returned in 1972, still without instruments but with voices intact. Fun fact: "The ultimate rock'n'roll lullaby," wrote Greil Marcus in his book <I>Stranded</I>. "The sound of men who were forced to grow up." Highly recommended: <I>Cigars</I>, <I>Acappella</I>, <I>Candy</I>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Slow down triplets played on a tinny piano roll under crooning Doo-Wop by boys from the Bronx. The Regents were among the many bands to adopt the vocal crooning of Doo-Wop and water it down a bit, making it easier for white teenagers around the United States to swallow. Their big 1961 hit was "Barbara Ann."

<description><![CDATA[The Spaniels were one of the most well-rounded Doo-Wop groups during the 1950s. They excelled at street-corner harmonies but drew considerable inspiration from such past Vocal group masters as the Mills Brothers and recorded a wide spectrum of harmony-filled pop music. Sha Na Na did a note-for-note cover of their biggest hit, "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight."
