One of the many joys of life back in the 50,s was to hang out on the street corner and sing Doo Wop.

While living in East New York Brooklyn I would sing till my throat was sore.We would sing when we got up till we went to bed at night.

In the subways or hallways were always the choosen place to capture, THE ECHO.

From the streets of Brooklyn to the Boardwalk @ Rockaway Beach the air was filled with harmony coming from groups like,The Bob Knight Four,The Star Fires,The BelAirs,The Capris,
The Admirations,The Chalets,The Five Discs and many many more.

From dances @ St. Michaels to St. Fortunata,s,from the candy stores that line the streets ,to many a pizza place,groups could be heard telling their story with the human voice.

From the driving beat of the Bass singer to the high tenor float of the Falsesetto to the SHO DOP DOBBIE DOO of the Background singers to that crystal clear voice of the Lead singer,Doo Wop was king.

Found memories of a time when things were easy.

I Remember In The Still Of The Night,
fond thoughts to all,
Frank Iovino presently still singing Doo Wop in Florida with my present group called,WHAT ELSE,The Five Boroughs.
