Doo Wop's Best

Doo Wop's BestIn December 1999, “Doo Wop 50” took the nation by storm with the premiere release of the first-ever celebration from 20 of the greatest doo wop vocal groups and their biggest hits. This success gave birth to two sequels, “Doo Wop 51,” which united an additional 30 doo wop legends, and “Rock, Rhythm and Doo Wop,” which historically preserved and presented even more legends from rock’n’roll’s Golden Age — the 1950s and early 1960s.

Now, American Soundtrack: Doo Wop's Best presents memorable full-length performances from each of these three original programs, together for first time in one special.

American Soundtrack: Doo Wop's Best includes:

Act 1 – The Best of "Doo Wop 50"

• “Come Go With Me” – The Del Vikings
• “Speedo” – The Cadillacs
• “There’s a Moon Out Tonight” – The Capris
• “Earth Angel” – The Penguins
• “Duke of Earl”– Gene Chandler
• “16 Candles” – Johnny Maestro & the Brooklyn Bridge

Act 2 – The Best of “Doo Wop 51”

• “One Fine Day” – The Chiffons
• “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” – the Tokens
• “Stay” – Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs
• “Little Darlin’” – The Diamonds & Maurice Williams
• “Let It Be Me” – Betty Everett & Jerry Butler
• “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me” – Mel Carter

Act 3 – The Best of “Rock, Rhythm & Doo Wop”

• “Remember Then” – Larry Chance & the Earls
• “A Thousand Stars” – Kathy Young & the Innocents
• “Silhouettes” – The Rays
• “Cara Mia” – Jay Black & the Americans
• Medley: “Shimmy, Shimmy KoKo Bop,” “Tears on My Pillow,” “Hurt So Bad” – Little Anthony & the Imperials

American Soundtrack: Doo Wop's Best concludes with “In the Still of the Night,” sung by Fred Paris & the Five Satins.
