Best of Doo Wop Ballads

No dout about it...Doo Wop was and is still the coolest! Guys can dig it and still be macho...and yet, it melts the hearts of ladies.

These balads were recorded nearly 50 years ago, and yet they sound like they could have been recorded yesterday! I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard the Flamingos 'I Only Have Eyes For You' in full (((STEREO)))...We're talking the original version here!

The packaging and liner notes are top-notch! This is a must have for any collection. While you're at it, why not grab its companion entitled 'Best of Doo Wop Uptempo'. Like this CD, the audio quality is stunning with several (((STEREO))) surprises!

With oldies radio stations disappearing and record companies issuing fewer oldies compilations, it's wise to grab these while they are still available.

Doo wop music was extremely popular throughout the late 50's & early 60's-In 1994,Rhino Records released this excellent retrospective-You get all the major hits such as "Why Do Fools Fall In Love","A Thousand Miles Away","Sh-Boom","Earth Angel" & the granddaddy of 'em all "In The Still Of The Night"-Unfortunately,you don't hear this kind of music on the radio anymore-If you like group harmony,you owe it to yourself to purchase this compilation.

I agree with the reviewer complaining about Jay and the Americans. I have another beef: I own the VHS version which has the Crystals "Da Doo Ron Ron" on it for a total of 35 cuts. It happens to be a favorite of mine. I bought the DVD on Dec 31, 2006, but it only has 34 cuts and does not list Da Doo Ron Ron on the back jacket. My neighbor has the same problem. PBS can't explain it, and, everyone selling it, including Amazon, still advertises it as being on the DVD. Can somebody tell me what's going on?
