The man said "Why can't we bring this music back". It's because today's generation wouldn't know how to start. This music is also called Street Corner Harmony. If you were to take away the music, it would still sound great. No auto tune needed, just great harmony.

[@jamesbates6840]

Not only that, it's all about money now. Even back then, groups had a hard time staying together because of money and to think it would work in today's money hungry environment. I truly believe if that music was the genre of today, there would be less violence in the world. No, doo wop will never come back 😢

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Yes they would bro. The talent is there...it's just not promoted by the labels. You go where the money is. This stuff went out of style before I was even born, but it still has its charm. Here's some British guys called the Roomates (one m) who are still going now. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3eboZhteNqJqpY Enjoy ... the entire album is worth a listen. After you give it a listen, remember, I did you a solid The one down side of the Beatles is that they earmarked the doo wop style for death😢

[@ceceo2000]

I'm proud to be the current lead singer of The Capris. They are a great bunch of guys and we still love performing. Thanks for the love.

[@lormatos4694]

Don't the sounds of the 50's and 60's have you looking at your grand-parents in a different light?

[@jolenewitzel7919]

I wish they would bring singing like this back. ❤

[@danielgrosky1446]

Their biggest hit was " There's a moon out tonight.".

[@jeffclark7888]

That’s a great song.

[@lewisclabough8305]

I saw this After I posted my comment.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

they were a 60's group but this song was actually released in 1982! kind of a doo wop revival

[@Mrvinn19]

They actually started in the late 50's, I believe their biggest hit "There's A Moon Out Tonight" was released in '58. Their lead singer Nick "Santo" Santamaria wrote most of the music. "Morse Code Of Love" he started penning in '59, I believe, however, he didn't finish it. There happened to be an oldies revival in late '60's early '70's. They then reunited & started performing again. Nick decided to complete Morse Code Of Love which was 1982. If only he had done so back in '58/'59, it would have followed their biggest hit. They actually would have been HUGE with those two back to back.

[@ednoponen2943]

Agreed . . . The Capris were, indeed, among the best of the doo-woppers. That said, I think you should give a listen to The Rays "Silhouettes".

[@clelldrumheller4837]

Young folks, you have it in your hearts. The young generation can create more like this. You, just, have to want it enough. New, beautiful music is within you reach. All you have to do is start composing it and singing it. Be blessed!

[@jjflash1645]

A really good song from a really good group. As everyone else has said you have to listen to THERE’S A MOON OUT TONIGHT.

[@ALFAJERKBFH]

There were 2 popular oldies stations in Chicago in the 80s and 90s and everybody listened to oldies. Music like this is still awesome!

[@EugeneEWE3RD]

Great song. Even though it sounds like a 1950's or 1960's Doo-Wop song, The Capri's actually recorded and released this song in 1982. The Capri's were a doo-wop group and had a song released called There's a Moon Out Tonight which they recorded in 1958 but it was in 1960 when the song took off. This is actually one of my favorite Doo-Wop songs and i'm a big fan of doo-wop. If you interested in doo-wop music check out the radio show called Cool Bobby B's Doo-Wop Stop.

[@mamb70]

Love this song, love the Capris and especially their huge hit There's a Moon out Tonight. I heard chatter about rereleasing some great songs of the past. To me a very good idea.

[@thomasvest7111]

You would also like the famous do-wop song, "Remember Then" by the Earls. Great falsetto vocals! Similar style to the Skyliners, who you have reacted to; also the Cascades, "Rhythm of the Falling Rain", an early 60's love song.

[@kennethsalyer1596]

I'm Glad i was born in the Fifties. Growing up we had the best music 50/60/70's compaired to the music of today

[@theresagallagher9161]

Right beside you on your comment. 👍💥

[@keithdukes5990]

I'll second that my good man 😊👍

[@sharonwilkinson]

I love 50s music rockabilly ..doo wop !! Can’t be beaten .. love your reactions u two are great xxx

[@dagmar.6954]

The Capris are an American doo-wop group who's biggest hit was "There's A Moon Out Tonight" in 1961 & were considered a one-hit wonder. But they had a few other songs such as "Morse Code Of Love".

[@bwilliams463]

This is a clever concept, using the 'dits' and 'dots' of Morse code as doo-wop patter words. Catchy.

[@johnnyd5285]

You two are like me, old souls! Love the doo-wop!

[@johnjordan6032]

This is a hidden gem because they recorded this low key in the 80's. Best doo wop song IMO.

[@deepfriedscotsman2860]

Here are some more Doo Wop Bands from the 50s The Cadillacs /The Teenagers /The Coasters /The Crests/The Clovers /The Chantels /The Flamingos /The Del-Vikings /The Contours/The Elgins /The Five Satins /The Diamonds /The Crows/The Skyliners /The Monotones /these are just some of the groups

[@danielilardo7901]

Morse Code of Love. Best Doo Wop song ever.Thank you.

[@charlesboll2102]

Hi Shawn and Mel. I love when you react to the music I enjoyed when I was young. If you like the Doo Wops try "Count Every Star" by the Rivieras. It is an underrated Doo Wop that has everything a good doo wop should have; parts singing, harmonies, a great bass singer and a great ending. I'm sure that you will like it. Thanks

[@gregh67483]

Love that song

[@whereswaldo23]

Added to my Apple playlist, thanks!!

[@_whatsername1911]

This music is simple and has an innocence, even with the cute innuendos. Kids today could seriously benefit.

[@danwaln1642]

I can remember cruising main street in the early sixty's "dragging main" ,pulling up to the drive in, music on full throttle, listening to the best music ever made.

[@gailcalderone5229]

Yes we need it back...This music can take the place of all the violence!!!!❤

[@Steve52344]

Think of this: There were about 75,000 doo-wop songs recorded by about 9,000 doo-wop groups from 1953 to 1964.

[@krame99]

The Capris made a great song “There’s a moon out tonight” in 1961 then they went back into the studio in 1982 and they made “There’s a moon out again” and this song was on the album it sounds like it was made in the 50s or 60s but it was released in 1982 another great song from that album was a song called “That’s how love goes” you guys would love that song this was the soundtrack of my childhood.

[@sharonwilkinson]

Five keys she’s the most .. rainbows ..Mary lee .. the cues .. why .. brilliant tracks

[@brucetracy726]

This song from The Capris was actually recorded and released in the very early 80’s. Yes The Capris where there in the late 50’s and early 60’s. This is definitely from the early 80’s. It was also covered by The Manhattan Transfer.

[@LittleWolf194]

Rest in peace Nick Santo (Lead Vocal) Vietnam Veteran & career NYC Police Department. 1963 :)

[@staceyolsen3996]

I’d like to see your reaction to Temptations- Just my imagination and Let’s just kiss and say goodbye. Love your channel!

[@nunyabidness1888]

One of my favorite doo-wop songs for next time, The Heartbeats - A Thousand Miles Away (1956)

[@DooWops4U2]

This explains why my cars license plate says "DOOWOPS" btw Nick Santos Santamaria was an amazing lead vocalist RIP Nick

[@jeffstevens156]

I WANT THIS MUSIC ALIVE. THANK Y’ALL FOR DOING THAT!

[@hookalakah]

Rockin' Italian doo wop, Shawn and Mel.

[@lendavidhart9710]

We can't bring it back, but we can access it at anytime on you tube, this song reminds me of my parents, I can see them "jitter bugging" (it's a dance) in the kitchen! Thanks for posting and sharing, good stuff

[@The26grover]

Actually from 1982. Nick Santo, lead singer, began writing it many years earlier but wasn't recorded till '82

[@Zebred2001]

This is great! I don't think I've ever heard this one. Thank you Shawn and Mel and whomever suggested this solid-gold classic!

[@stewartmatthews1551]

Oh man can't go rong with old music

[@marcomustang876]

Why why why oh whyyyyyyy can't we see some why people reacting to some great black vocal groups from back in the 1950's ... why are y'all soooo amazed and flabbergasted by music we all over 40 have heard a million times already 🤣 ?

[@IcemanE52]

This song was originally released in 1959. To everyone who thought it was from the 80s, you are thinking of the the cover by Manhattan Transfer.

[@Steve52344]

I'm a thousand years older that you two, but I'd love ta sit with ya while you play the soundtrack of my youth. Let's have a party!

[@dennismarcucci3465]

This was recorded 1983 it was a come back record for ambient sound records

[@mrb4749]

There's a Moon out Tonight by them is my favorite but this is Great 😃 also. No lousy autotune More great Doowop tunes:. My True Story by Jive 5, You belong to Me Duprees and Have You Heard. Another great is Oh What a Night by the Dells!

[@youmustbethistall5861]

This song was actually written/recorded by The Capris in 1982 during a 50's culture resurgence. It's legitimate "do-wop" and The Capris are a true 50's group; they simply applied the 50's formula to a song that happened to occur in the 1980's.

[@carollittle1059]

Doo Wop lives! There are live Do Wop concerts on the East and Westcoasts. I have seen so many of the greats the last fie years. Sadly most of the original members have passed away and they have some replacements for their singers. If you hey the chance check out the shows near you and be blown away.

[@janetf23]

Harmony is such a wonderful thing! 👍💖

[@wilmoreholton2943]

They started that song in the late 50s early 60s and released in 82

[@channelthree9424]

You would probably like the doowop song Barbara Anne

[@lewisclabough8305]

Their big hit was "there's a moon out tonite"!

[@snowbird9660]

You all should watch the movie “American Graffiti”. It has doo wop throughout the whole movie.

[@user-px8fr6ru2x]

Love the way u get into doo wop so Happy ur doing doo wop !😂

[@charliespride2058]

We need singing like this

[@kentinatl]

STRAIGHT FIRE!!!!

[@bencolquitt7828]

[@garymiller9657]

Now this is a for real jam!

[@MichaelMontgomery-vb5jt]

Although this group was from the 60s, this song was made in 1981 by this group

[@fredgarvin5919]

Believe it or not this song was created by them in 1982.

[@kimcutts424]

Ooooh. I like this. 👍

[@doowopp45]

This song was actually recorded in 1982.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

The Doo Wop Day’s! The late 50’s were the greatest time for these singer’s, I was 9 in 1958 and I loved these group!👍💙♥️

[@thecuredivision]

I just want to say thank you for taking time to listen to both this and Moon Out Tonight. My Dad was the guitarist for the Capris during the 80s and 90s before he passed away in 98. It really means a lot to me and my family when we see people enjoying their music. I'm happy to report that The Capris are still performing and touring with original and long time members! Check out their Facebook page. The Doo Wop groups will often do big showcase tours together and they're a lot of fun!

[@stevenfeinberg7486]

Every week there were new doo-wop songs coming out. We'd hear them on the radio or TV then go out and buy the 45 record. There were thousands and thousands of doo-wop groups. The air was filled with their harmonies. That million years sure went fast.

[@marthagraves811]

That was a great song. I'd like to request a few songs that I am sure you'll like too. Splish Splash by Bobby Darin, Be Bop A Lula by Gene Chandler and I Wonder Why by Dion and the Belmonts. Thanks y'all, peace and love!

[@sharonwilkinson]

Charts Desiree lovely doo wop tune

[@rogerbaldelli3473]

[@ronhunt9396]

Love my Doo Wop to the 70s. I'm getting chills hearing this

[@jamesbates6840]

What you all should check out is a song titled " you should have seen the way he looked at Me" by The Dixie Cups. That song has a nice beat, and it takes my back to my teenage years when I would flirt with the pretty girls, even though I had a girlfriend. Check it out.

[@Brother_Dre1900]

Best Doo Wop group ever? I hear you. But check out The Cadillacs "Gloria" (original version), The Magnificients "Went Up On the Mountain". Also check out the Moonglows, amongst others.

[@delorespetree3243]

Love this music have not listen to this music in awhile great music back then

[@duanewall5972]

The picture is from the 50s but the song was made in the 80s by the Capri

Chapel Bells by The Fascinators

[@freddymixson229]

great reaction! since you like that era of music please try Jackie Wilson "baby workout or danny boy" you will be glad you did!

[@dunismith3045]

Yes! And don’t forget Higher and Higher!

[@ricklaub3257]

The Capris still perform today,with one original member. Morse Code Was covered by Manhattan Transfer,so hopefully more groups will find these gems just like you have. Thanks!

[@raymoles]

You can't bring this music back, because today's singers wouldn't know how to harmonize without auto-tune.

[@annmills3163]

☮️💜

[@davegibson5532]

Shawn and Mel, Try ( You Belong To Me) by The Duprees. You're gonna like it.

[@amb6899]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@clelldrumheller4837]

Check out "So Much in Love" (1963) by The Tymes.

[@barrycohen311]

If you like Doo-wop, check out Nolan Strong and the Diablos- "Blow Wind"

[@wildcman]

This was released in 1982 I bought the 45 new and it was played on the radio in my area

[@davidmoody718]

But the song believe it or not this song came out in 1982 that means that the capris did a doo woop comeback in the 80s

[@donnabruhn6907]

How about some Lionel Ritchie, Dancing on the Ceiling, and he had some very sexy dance songs

[@judymurry2771]

You need to listen to the Joe Jeffery group, my pledge of love

[@yellow4for2]

You need to check out the movie AMERICAN HOT WAX.

[@gailcalderone5229]

Street Corner singers ..Oh Yeah bring it back..

[@kdm71291]

There are two different types of Doo-wop....the slower, more soulful romantic kind, like you've listened to before (The Platters, etc.) and more upbeat like this....but it's all doo-wop.

[@sylviacollins652]

PLEASE react to...DONNY HATHAWAY, "A SONG FOR YOU"...CLASSIC!!!!!! MARVIN GAYE & TAMMI TERRELL, "YOU'RE ALL I NEED TO GET BY"...CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!🥰🥰

[@maxalexander4817]

Please react to the song Spanish Harlem, sung by Ben E. King

[@susanthompson8962]

This was from 1958.

[@_whatsername1911]

I was hoping you'd do this one! There's a lot of good versions. Manhattan Transfer remade it. Del Vikings I think may have been the originals.

[@paulwicht6294]

Considered the last Doo Wop recording.

[@j.gabriel87l]

Reaction:clocks by Coldplay 🔥🇧🇷

[@stevenfeinberg3028]

They recorded this song in the early 1980's, LONG after doo-wop went out of style. That b&w photo of them is from 1960 when they had a huge hit with "There's a Moon Out Tonight." Check THAT one out.
