A number of people are aware that I like many genres of music. One of my favorite types of music is doo wop.
The
American Heritage Dictionary defines doo-wop as a "style of rhythm and
blues popularized in the 1950s and characterized by words and nonsense
syllables sung in harmony by small groups against a stylized rhythmic
melody." This seems to be as good an introduction as any.
