I had not heard any of these bands kind of like I slipped into an alternate universe of music...of course I recognized a song or two like Happy Happy Birthday Baby and White Cliffs Of Dover but not who was singing them like I said. But Chess must have been just the absolute "bees knees" in Doo-Wop coolness. Includes: SENSATIONS, MARATHONS, IDEALS, MOONGLOWS, DREAM KINGS, STUDENTS, LEE ANDREWS & THE HEARTS, REVELS, FLAMINGOS, JOHNNY & JOE, TUNE WEAVERS, PASTELS, RAYS and THE BLUE JAYS.
BTW there was a cool conversation about Doo-Wop and Rock-A-Billy origins at good old Jokonky blog here (and what got me to pull out this one from the stacks): JOKONKY
