Hit: 5 Stars
The Ultimate Doo Wop Collection is a two CD set that gives us a generous amount of the best of doo wop that was so popular in the 1950s and early 1960s. The sound quality is excellent and I like the diversity of artists.
The Capris start off the first album with their awesome ballad entitled "There's A Moon Out Tonight." I love this one and it always makes me feel sentimental. They harmonize perfectly, too. "Just To Be With You" by The Passions is another highlight of this set; they harmonize so well and the guitar arrangement is very impressive. Moreover, listen for "I Wonder Why" by Dion and The Belmonts. If you listen carefully you can hear Dion's voice just above the others; and his solo vocals are flawless. Great!
"Once In Awhile" by The Chimes is a stupendous, romantic ballad that will make you want to jump up and slow dance with your sweetheart practically wherever you are. "Rama Lama Ding Dong" by The Edsels is a very strong number that gets the royal treatment. This bouncy, energetic doo wop number is sure to please you if you haven't heard it before. The Edsels were quite a group!
"Deserie" by The Charts is one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard; and The Charts deliver this ballad with great sensitivity. The Dell Vikings end the first CD with their very famous "Come Go With Me." The harmonizing is great and the vocals lack nothing--they're incredible!
The second CD continues the hits. Clearly, The Five Satins score a huge goal with their performance of "In The Still Of The Night;" this romantic ballad always moves me with its natural beauty. "The Book Of Love" by The Monotones sounds great as always; and listen for "A Sunday Kind Of Love" by The Harptones. I really like the magical sound of The Harptones.
The Avalons sing "My Heart's Desire" to perfection; and the musical arrangement makes great use of the percussion. "Tell Me Why" by The Belmonts is another bouncy, peppy little tune that is another example of classic doo wop.
"Long Lonely Nights" by Lee Andrews & The Hearts has always impressed me as being the work of true genius. They sing this melancholy ballad so sweetly that you practically HAVE to like it. It's very charming even though the lyrics reveal a man's sadness that his girlfriend is gone. In addition, The Demensions do a great cover of "Over The Rainbow;" it could never be as good as when Judy garland sang it but The Demensions come pretty close. "Play Those Oldies Mr. DJ" by Anthony & The Sophomores is a magnificent number that also pays tribute to the wonderful music of the day.
The artwork is great; and Collectables did a great job with the remastering of these numbers.
Overall, this is one pretty awesome two CD set of doo wop tunes. Sure, it could be more complete; but it does have a number of true rarities and this impresses me. This two CD set is indispensable for the doo wop fan.
