Our Take

In a world filled with auto-tuned chart toppers and manufactured pop stars, it's refreshing to take a step back in time and bask in the harmonious simplicity of doo-wop music. Various Artists' latest compilation, "Doo-Wop: The Absolutely Essential," takes listeners on a nostalgic journey through the golden age of doo-wop, showcasing the genre's timeless charm and irresistible melodies.

From the toe-tapping beats of The Drifters to the smooth crooning of The Platters, this album is a treasure trove of classic tracks that will have you snapping your fingers and tapping your feet in no time. With standout performances from artists like The Penguins and The Five Satins, "Doo-Wop: The Absolutely Essential" is a must-have for any music lover looking to add a touch of vintage flair to their collection.

One of the standout tracks on the album is The Crests' "Sixteen Candles," a sweet and sentimental ballad that perfectly captures the innocence and romance of the 1950s. The lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics of this song will transport you back to a simpler time, where love songs were as pure as the driven snow.

Overall, "Doo-Wop: The Absolutely Essential" is a delightful collection of doo-wop classics that will have you singing along and reminiscing about the good old days. So grab your pomade and your poodle skirt, and get ready to jive to the sounds of yesteryear with this toe-tapping compilation.
