I'm an old New York doo-wop guy, veteran of every Alan Freed R&R show from '56 through '60, and an avid listener to Freed and Jocko. Two classes of favorites:

1. The smoothies: Flamingos, Harptones, Moonglows. Willie Winfield (Harptones) is my ace; my favorite is "On Sunday Afternoon."

2. The (younger) doo-woppers: Channels, Teenagers, Cleftones,Chantels, Bop Chords, Continentals, Paragons, Jesters, Billy Ward and the Dominos...the list is interminable. Channels and their lead singer, Earl Lewis, are my faves; their best is "The Gleam in Your Eye."

The best white groups were the Skyliners and Dion and the Belmonts.

Jackie Wilson was the greatest lead singer of the Fifties, with Clyde McPhatter coming in second.

Anyone else remember any of these?
