Trace the growth of
Doo Wop Music from its roots with the Mills Brothers and Ink Spots, Ravens and
Orioles.
Learn the true
stories behind groups like the Dominoes, Five Keys, Moonglows, Penguins,
Spaniels, Flamingos and Dubs.
Rediscover the kiddie
groups like Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers.
Hear about the
Harptones, Five Satins and Dion & the Belmonts as well as some of the lesser
known but still fascinating artists of the Golden Age of Vocal Groups.
Recall the days when
groups harmonized under streetlamps to tunes like “In The Still Of The Night,”
“Gloria,” and “Earth Angel”.
Doo
Wop music historian Charlie Horner’s forty years of research and twenty years
on Philadelphia’s WXPN-FM, have allowed him to interview hundreds of 1950’s
singers. This presentation is assembled through their memories and personal
stories as well as Charlie’s huge archive of records, photographs, sheet music
and other memorabilia. Some memorabilia will be displayed during the talk.
