  • Everything you need to know about doo wop

    The book is very well written and the pictures are fabulous. It not only encompasses the music but the entire social history of the times. My only criticism is that I did not expect a coffee table type book. I wanted something to take to the swimming pool while I'm on vacation and this is a little too large for that. Otherwise a great book & a great value.
