Wow. Good thing I voted for IWW. But basically another poll with not enough voters.

No "10 Commandments of Love"??

Not enough voters, but more than I feared. I was pleasantly surprised at the interest, actually. I would have liked to see "Denise" get a vote, and I still love "Earth Angel" from watching Back To The Future so many times.

btw this collection really is fantastic; I also have the Rhino Doo-Wop Box 2, but I put this on way more. Anyone with the first Rhino box? Is it worth getting in addition to the collection polled here? And if so, why? It's always seemed pricey to me.

I like "Denise" OK, but I once met a guy who specialized in a certain sort of deracinated doo-wop and "Denise" was the only recognizable song on his tape, so it sort of got dragged down with the rest of them.

I'm pretty out of my depth thinking about racial stuff and doo-wop, but I gather it's a pretty fascinating topic.

It might be, but let's not mention it too much or we'll get too many flies on the sherbert.

Too few voters is right - sorry I didn't do my part. (Not that The Flamingos needed my vote...)

Argh, I completely missed this!
Still, my choice won. ^_^

I would have voted for "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" but I haven't heard most of these.

Can’t figure out what is the most live doo-wop thread so I will post here.
Haven’t had a good station or show to listen to in ages but just started listening to Bob Porter’s Saturday Morning Function on WBGO which seems to fill the bill nicely

Hm, there are a few tunes on this poll I am unfamiliar with

This was my first thought! i either voted "sincerely" or "my true story"
Anyone with the first Rhino box? Is it worth getting in addition to the collection polled. . .?two reasons i can think of to get it. a) it's like twice as long as what was polled and, b) it's overall an even stronger collection than box 2 imho
