56 minutes of Love Songs. Doo-wop is a style of rhythm and blues which emerged in African American communities in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Newark, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, Washington and Los Angeles in the 1940s, achieving mainstream popularity in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Leader of the Laundromat

That must have been inspired by this one:

Laundromat Blues--The Five Royales (1953)

[Fiji Hill]

The problem with “’50’s on 5” on Sirius is that half the songs they play are from the ‘60’s.

[Fiji Hill]

That was “Who Put The Bomp” originally sung by Barry Mann in 1961

Who put the bomp? I put the bomp!

[Fiji Hill]

The Clock--Lee Andrews & the Hearts (1957)

[Fledermaus]

The Chiffons. The song was written by the husband/wife team of Goffin/Carol King (like most of the Monkees songs except for “I’m a Believer” which was written by Neil Diamond).

The Chiffons also did “He’s So Fine” also renowned as the plaintiff song in the now-infamous plagiarism case against George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord”.

Never thought about He’s So Fine and ‘My Sweet Lord’ but they sure do sound alike.
