doo wop

doo wop is a style of rhythm-and-blues and rock-and-roll vocal music popular in the 50s and 60s popularized by Black American musicians in the mid-twentieth century. vocal groups would sing a cappella harmonies and use sounds to make rhythm, so its name stems from the kinds of musical background noises that backup singers would make when they performed! it’s known for its simple syllables, beats, and lyrics. the subjects typically sang about were all things to do with dating, love, longing, marriage, and heartbreak. i'm not going to lie... this genre is a guilty pleasure of mine!
