The Dawn of Doo-Wop

The Dawn of Doo-Wop doesn't really have too many true Doo Wop songs on it but instead focuses on the R&B and pop vocal group harmonies that laid the groundwork for the 50's Doo Wop explosion.
The songs on this set date from 1940 to the early 1950s and feature many seminal groups such as the Inkspots, the Mills Brothers, the Orioles, the Ravens and many others.
There are many obscure songs here and the sound quality is very good.
Also included in a nice booklet of liner notes jam-packed with information.
This is another Proper box set that excels in quality and value.
