Doowop went right back to the 30's but it wasn't Rock n' Roll until The Crows hit with Gee early in 54 on its second release as it was originally recorded and released in 53 on a blue RAMA label and red RAMA on its second 54 release.

I was six years old in 1953 and just starting school. I don't remember hearing my first doowop record until the early 1960's. There was just no such thing as a musically inclined school where I lived in Burnaby, B.C. It was all sports and i was an artist, not an athlete. Now I'm a singer/songwriter longing for those good old days I never knew, How I'd love to sing doowop music with a group but that music is still totally non existent around here.

This was the first Rock n' Roll in fact the very first doowop RnR smash hit was Gee by The Crows whom I believe were from Baltimore followed by The Chords Sh-boom However 'Gee' was recorded a year earlier in 53 and released but did better on its second release early in 54 still 2 months before the Chords hit with Sh-Boom.

The first Rock N Roll and pre Doo Wop went further back to the late forties with the Ravens, the Orioles and the Cardinals- the original bird groups. Alan Freed official called the music "Rock N Roll" in 1951. How beautiful to see black and white join together in mutual love and appreciation.

The pool story from the Chords was relatable. Did you hear them in "Lovecraft Country"? Fittingly, they started the series with the milquetoast yaddadaDAdada of the Crewcuts, with appropriate comments from the cast, and ended with the Chords' version.
