I am certain I first heard this song in the film Stand By Me, the scene in the junkyard where they hang out and count their money. I loved the electric guitar picking and the clickity clack rhythm. I think this song made me more aware of doo wop. If you like this song, there is a great doo wop box set out there. It's got all the great songs - Blue Moon, Get A Job, Book Of Love, I Only Have Eyes For You.
The story of the Dell-Vikings is pretty interesting, you can read about them here.
The Fonz thinks Doo Wop is cool, aaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWithout Doo Wop, Joanie might never have loved Chachi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chachi_Arcola
