For fans of this urban folk music, there are no limits to what they'll do, where they'll go or what they'll spend to score a classic single or a long out-of-print LP, and with the release of this Boxset, the anthologists at Rhino have exceeded their own standards. This definitive collection glorifies this classic art form and re-connects it to both its roots in gospel and its antecedents in R&B, soul, funk and jazz. But as the annotators demonstrate on these four brilliantly sequenced volumes, the evolution of doo wop--vocal group music--is synonymous with the birth of R & B itself and parallels the rise of rock and roll teen culture. Please see song titles in the photos, they are all old friends! Great Oldies! We found this in our Aunt/Uncle's Estate! Been Stored but we believe, never used.
