Doo Wop Singles # 1

[@edmclaughlin893]

I am 80-years old and still think DOO WOP is the greatest music on the planet. There is a long street tunnel in our town that goes under the railroads. It was (is) the greatest echo chamber anyone could ask for. In those days, we had black groups that would go down there and sing in the evenings. Before long the white guys discovered the same tunnel. Often the white and black guys joined together to make some really great music. There was just the street lights and the singing with us sitting along the street banister. Those were truly magical times. Many of our local groups seemed to be as good as anyone playing on the radio. They had to get good since their peers were sitting around listening. With the singing, a lot of the local girls came down to listen and meet the guys. They would even join in which was special.

One of my favorite songs in 1958 & 59 was "Long Lonely Nights" by Lee Andrews and The Hearts", during my Junior & Senior years. Graduated in 1959. I also loved the Platters. They had been around for quite a while. Loved all their hits, including "Harbor Lights, Twilight Time, Only You, The Great Pretender. Just about anything they sang. I was into Rock & Roll, Country & Rhythm & Blues. I have cassettes in its own case I bought back in the 1990s. The problem is I don't think any of my children or grandkids will be interested in them when I'm gone. I have a lot of Gene Autry memorabilia that I don't think anyone is going to want either. A 1950 puzzle of Gene, all pieces there, wrapped in cellophane. 3 - 8X10 pictures nice wood framed, one signed by him. A picture of Gene and the original Champion before WW II. A case of cassettes of his old radio shows. So, Yes I have always been a Gene Autry fan. I love to hear him sing in the movies, which I have a few of them also. Two metal box cases of 45 records. One is mostly country, in like-new condition. The other one is of records I bought when I was young. Before & after I graduated. I have really enjoyed listening to these old songs from my high school days & after. Thank You for posting, these songs of yesteryear. Sure brought back so many memories.

@@rickhigginson8546 The problem with donating to a museum (as I see it) is that your collection may never see the light of day to other humans! Some museums have so many donations that, even rotating their collections, no one might ever see it.

Born 91 and this music has a place in my heart. From 'Count Basie' & The Bird'-(Duke Ellington) to Biggie Smalls' & 'TuPac Shakur. From the impossibly heavy and melodic metal of 'Rings of Saturn', to the Wavey chillaxing vibrations of Barrington Levy. The badass cybersymphony of intense pulsing Electronica from German God Gessafelstein n everything between. MUSIC IS A GIFT! A FEELING, A STORY, A COLLECTIVE THOUGHT TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. AND MOST OF ALL, MUSIC IS US. OUR LIVES, OUR HOPES AND DREAMS, AND THE INSPIRATION TO LIVE ON FOR OTHERS. TO SHARE A PIECE OF WHO WE ARE WITH THE WORLD AND HAVE EVERYONE BE OKAY WITH IT.

In The Still Of The Night and One Summer Night are at the top of my favorates. I was born in 1943 and have the best of Doo-Wop in my soul.After my 1st wife passed about 10 years ago, I thought romantic love was over for me. But then I met Stela who grew up in the Philippines and I was raised in New Orleans. So no cultural match,one would think, yet our values are very similar.And, It turns out, that each of us had met the love of our lives. We both retired and moved to the Philippines where my dad was killed in 1945 during WWII. We are building a new home 10 yards from the Philippine Sea. We traded a lonely retirement for the greatest love of both of our lives and many years to enjoy it. I don't think our meeting was an accident nor will both of us both being in the Rapture. Thank you, Jesus.
