I can't argue with anything on the list, but I think Billy Joel's
"For The Longest Time" rates at least an honorable mention.
Curiously, it was not a product of the doo-wop era, but rather a tribute to it, and ended up being (IMHO) every bit as good as any number of songs that sprung from that time.

For the Longest Time is excellent.
I personally think “In the Still of the Night” is a marvel of Ur-Doo Wop.
