Various Artists - Doo Wop Love Songs [Box]

Artist:

Various Artists

Description:

This four-disc box set brings together the lion`s share of the best doo wop love songs ever recorded. Of course, most doo wop songs are about love, making the title somewhat redundant, but that merely means the set doubles as a excellent overview of the doo wop genre in general.
Across 85 tracks, DOO WOP LOVE SONGS delivers some of the best tunes of the era, including the Dell-Vikings "Come Go With Me," Little Anthony and the Imperials` "Tears On My Pillow," and the Teenagers` "Why Do Fools Fall In Love." Whether used for a musical reference source, a trip down memory lane, or a first time introduction to doo wop, LOVE SONGS fits the bill.
