| Description |
|
|
These three discs (plus a bonus CD inside the box) of sweet sentiments sung in perfect harmony include “Little Bitty Pretty One,” “Deep Purple,” “At the Hop,” “For Sentimental Reasons,” “Stardust,” “Please Send Me Someone to Love,” “A Million to One,” “Come Softly to Me,” “Sea of Love,” “This Magic Moment,” and “Twilight Time.” “Drawing on the grandfathered styles of the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots … these quartets and quintets added in a little gospel plus a slight dose of the old jump blues and hooked themselves to the rock & roll train as it flew past. In time, the grittier R&B roots were smoothed out for the teen market, and doo wop … was well on its way…. This three-disc set spreads its net fairly wide to include some early Motown acts as well as groups like the Platters and the Drifters, who are probably closer to mainstream R&B than they are to doo wop proper…. Either way, the end result is an impressive starter box for the genre.”—All Music Guide
