But all are high-spirited from the post world war era.A few better known and longer lasting groups are included however.It's amusing how many there were - almost any bird had a group named after it.It was a fertile music scene throughout the country in those days. The influences are obvious - New Orleans Jazz, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Ellington and the whole jazz/R&B scene.You can hear all kinds licks in these songs that became better known with the popularity of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and many others to come.Many of the slang terms current today came from this music - groovy, chick and Rock and Roll, which is a refrain in the earliest recording here - from the Mills Bros. in 1943!And there are the usual double entendre songs here and there.Incredibly good sound quality.Only about 15% of these songs are doowop really. But few doowop groups sang doowop exclusively. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic collection. *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2013* For all the doo wop lovers of the world this is a must have box set. The best doo wops are right here in this great collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ EARLY Doo Wop *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2007* If you're looking for a Doo-Wop set with all the classics this isn't for you. If you're looking for a Doo-Wop set with all the sounds of Doo-Wop this isn't for you. This is an EARLY Doo-Wop set. Most of the songs are missing a bassman, most of the songs aren't nearly as quick as Doo-Wop. What this set does have to offer is a look at other groups around at the same time as the Mills Brothers, almost pre-Doo-Wop songs.Very good if you want to hear the end of the beginning of Doo-Wop, not so good if you want to hear all the classics. For classics look to the Doo-Wop boxes 1&2. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/42540715-rhythm-n-blues-early-doo-wop](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/42540715-rhythm-n-blues-early-doo-wop) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
