Kim/Spidergirl:
First of all, welcome to Soulful Detroit.

Many of the groups that we refer to had started their singing & performing careers in the 1950s.

For example, the Temptations were the result of at least two groups that started singing in the 1950s - the Distants (Otis Williams, Eldrige Bryant, Richard Street, Melvin Franklin) & the Primes (Eddie Kendricks & Paul Williams). Smokey Robinson & the Miracles came out of the doo-wop tradition with "Got A Job" and "Bad Girl" (1957 & 1958). The Supremes started as the Primettes (sister group to the Primes), Martha Reeves was in the Del-Phi's, Marvin Gaye sang briefly with Harvey Fuqua's Moonglows. The Four Tops were formed in 1953-54 as the Four Aims and they patterned their style of singing after the vocal jazz groups. Finally, Berry Gordy - Motown's founder - started his career as a songwriter (he co-wrote, among others, "Lonely Teardrops" for the legendary Jackie Wilson).

Music of the 1950s was both romantic and raucous, subtle and explicit (for its time). Johnny Ace's "Pledging My Love" was romantic and was one of the decade's ultimate "make-out" records (think of what a young Barry White would've played for his girlfriend). Hank Ballard & the Midnighters' "Work With Me, Annie" was considered explicit for its time ("Let's get it while the going get's good..."). No need to explain what "it" was! As for raucous, you couldn't get more outrageous than Little Richard ("Tutti Frutti" was originally about a form of sexual intercourse that would've given a nun high blood pressure!).

This is just a brief posting about the music of the 1950s - I'm sure there are others here in the Forum who could share more direct experiences of the decade that helped launch rock & soul.

Good luck and again welcome aboard!

Thanx Kev,
U've just given a nice little History Lesson there.
Then again if there's anything 2 know about 50's & 60's music, U R one of the Guys who could tell it all.

By JoB (204.42.12.2) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 03:53 am:

Hello Kim...I may not be able to give you as much of a history lesson as most others on this forum (I've only got you by 6 years), but I what I do know about the 50's, 60's, and 70's, I got from listening to the music (the love songs from those years are what got me hooked, too, and I eventually just started loving everthing else "classic"), watching old movies and performances, reading different biographies and books relating to that era, and most importantly, by having conversations (online and otherwise) with older people, who actually lived it. What happens to me a lot is, I'll be listening to some older music somewhere, or talking about it or an artist, where there are older people around, and they'll just come up to me and ask, "What do YOU know about that??? Your PARENTS where probably just kids when that came out..."---and then will proceed to get into a long but most often interesting conversation about their recollections of the time.
Well, if you really want to learn more about the 50's, then I'll say you came to the right forum...good luck and I hope to see you on here again.


BTW---Tutti Frutti about sex?? LOL...Please expound on that one, Kev...better yet, I'll go somewhere and hear it for myself :o)

Check out Little Richard's autobiography (which I read when I was in college) - he descibes in full detail the origin of his hit "Tutti Fruitti" (and one-time repeated it on a radio show I engineered during my broadcasting years).

By Galactus (207.144.253.114) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 06:05 pm:

The 50s are sadly becoming the "forgotten decade" of music. "Oldies" playlists no longer include many of those great songs. It irritates me to no end, because the 50s are as great as any subsequent decade of soul. It all started in the 50s.......or actually, even earlier if you're talking The Orioles, The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, etc.

I was raised on 50s music. My father was from that era. He graduated high school in '59......I live in and am from South Carolina and I can tell you that "beach music" ruled down here. "Beach music" is really just classic r&b, and it was king in this state, even after the arrival of the Beatles.

I was born in '65 and got into music early. I was listening to stuff at the age of six or seven pretty regularly (Jackson 5 days!!). I became a graphic artist/illustrator, but music would've been my next choice for a career. But I was exposed through my dad to everything the 50s had to offer by way of old 45 rpm records. Jackie Wilson, The Drifters and Sam Cooke were my dad's favorites.......but I also heard The Platters, Buddy Holly, The Rays, The Cadillacs, The Flamingos, The Falcons, Shep and the Limelites, The Jarmels, etc. etc..........great music.

By Fury13 (12.2.196.17) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 08:51 pm:

Amen, Galactus. The '50s were amazing years, musically. I know that many here key on the post-1965 era, but I like the 1953-1964 period best.

By Soulaholic (68.41.47.183) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 08:58 pm:

The strangest thing about the 50's was everything was in black and white!!!!

At least that's how I remember. We did not have a color tv till I was a teenager. So one day my younger brother was watching Captain Kangeroo and Mr. Greenjeans came on, you could have knocked me over he had on a pair of GREEN JEANS!!!! I never knew why he was named that until just that moment. LOL

Thas all I remember of the 50's. ;)

By Sue (205.188.209.109) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:10 pm:

Nah Fury I think a lot of us revere the '50s.
I got into the Flamingos, Dion and the Belmonts etc., hearing them as oldies on '60s radio.

At my "job interview" for Creem Magazine, when the editor at the time asked me what my favorite song of all time was, I said "Come Go With Me" by the Del Vikings. That was not a song I heard growing up, but discovered later. So I understand the young soul fans here who've discovered the music of the '60s and '70s later on, because I did that with music of the '50s.

By douglasm (68.113.13.31) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:21 pm:

Dum dum dum dum dum, dum be do be......
.....one of the reasons '50's music is in a bit of a decline is demographics. I'm (gulp) 54, graduated in '66, and my demo is not one really welcomed by advertisers. As the oldies radio crowd ages, the oldies are getting newer, and tending to shy away from the early stuff that one might have heard 10 years ago. I'm just waiting for "oldies" radio to move to the Arrow format now that late '70's early '80's pop music is 25 plus years old.

By Fury13 (12.2.196.17) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:29 pm:

Age demographics are given too much weight in commercial radio. Older music isn't just cheesy nostalgia. Good music is good music... no matter when it was produced!

By Sue (205.188.209.109) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:30 pm:

What's the Arrow format?

I'm waiting for a break from the same old, same old cycle; oldies radio played for middle-aged people, then it gets ditched for the next generation's high school music.

I'd like to see a format that doesn't assume that the people who like the music are from the generation who heard it the first time, and it's strictly nostalgia.

Everybody who hears the Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You" likes it -- everybody I care about ...some music really is timeless and shouldn't be relegated to the oldies scrap heap.

By douglasm (68.113.13.31) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:50 pm:

Arrow is about a step and a half up on the generational ladder. Kind of late 70's/early 80's pop, as opposed to the "traditional" oldies format.
I agree with you, by the way.

By Nish (66.119.34.39) on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 10:24 pm:

I was born in '80, but my hometown (Pittsburgh) contributed greatly to the sound of the 50s/early 60s with the Dell-Vikings, Holidays, Skyliners, La-Rells and my parents and aunts and uncles saw it all go down. My mother went to hops at the White Elephant and Danceland. When she got a little older, the Crawford Grill in the Hill had jazz and soul artists come through, and she saw those shows.

Back then she wore dungarees, Bass bucks, moccasins, saddle oxfords, etc. She loves pencil skirts. Now we both do! :-)

She saw the miracles at a FAIR (gasp!)! And the first 45 she owned was "The Wind" by the Diablos, one of my top 3 doo-wop groups.

The 1950s produced the Template for many of the popular male groups of the 60s and 70s. Clyde McPhatter with the Dominoes, Flamingos, etc. They all influenced the Tempts, Tops, etc.

The '50s were a great decade for independent label owners too, so many little "labels that could" produced some great doo-wop records (I hate the term doo-wop, to me it's just rhythm and blues sung by a group, just as we consider both Marvin Gaye and the Temptations to be "soul" acts).

By Lonnie Cook (198.81.26.170) on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:37 am:

BTW
Richard (Little)Penniman has told the world many times on talk shows (no doubt) that the record company made him change the lyric to 'Tutti Fruiti oh Rooti' the original lyric was 'Tutti Fruiti good Booty'

By Eli (151.197.127.69) on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 10:04 am:

The origin of the word "doo wop" comes from the
"nonsense" type vocal background parts that the very early groups came up with due to the fact that they could not afford a band so they mimiced musical instrument sounds with their voices and the earlier mimiced parts consisted of "doo wah doo wah" or "doo wop doo wop" and the bass voice would mimic a standup bass.
After while the backing parts starting getting more complex or nonsensical as in all the "do lang" and "rama lama" and "shoo be doo be" type things.

Bobby E
The explanation you gave of where the term Doo Wop came from is widely propagated but it is not entirely correct. The derivation of the term was the background of group harmony, but!!! If you trace the evolution of Rhythm & Blues group harmony you will not hear a preponderance of that until the late 50's on. The reason for the escalation (I was there and hated it)was the mass of white groups that were trying to simulate the sound, they overemphasized and exaggerated. Consequently you will find that the late 50's and early sixties produced the bulk of the groups that sang like that. The few Blacks that had previously employed that sort of thing did it as a joke or humorously, at least. That sound became serious music after the advent of groups like Dion & the Belmonts's "I wonder why". Go and listen to the music chronologically and you'll see what I mean. Correspondingly the term doo wop was coined in the early sixties not from listening to the fifties Rhythm & Blues groups.

Lonnie & Bobby:
If I may add onto what Lonnie said...Those who follow the doo-wop tradition know that the "doo-wop-doo-wah..." voicings was not what many groups utilized. For example, Harvey Fuqua utilized what was called "blow harmonies" for the Moonglows ("hoo-hoo-wee-hoo, hoo-ee, hoo-ee" - from "Sincerely"). Sonny Til & the Orioles used the same technique in "Crying In The Chapel" while the Chords' "Sh-boom" was rooted in skat-singing. "Doo-Wop", just like rock & roll and R&B, was a term cooked up to describe the genre simply for the masses.

Lonnie Cook:

The original lyrics of "Tutti Frutti" were even more explicit than that, from what I understand (I won't post them here, out of a sense of propriety). The verses were filthy too, not just the chorus, and Little Richard had been singing the song as a live show-stopping number for a number of years before it was recorded in late 1955.

Clues to the original lyrics can be found here:

http://www.kolumbus.fi/timrei/lr/faq.htm

I've also read that at times, "loose" was substituted for "good"... no wonder it had to be cleaned up!

Regarding the "little labels that could," here's a decent listing of the postwar independents that changed the music business in the '50s:

Yeah, I've always wondered about where the line was drawn between what's "doo wop" and what's "r&b." Interesting.

Thinking about this music is funny, because I was never one of those teens who listened to music my dad couldn't stand! I loved his music and he loved mine! He could dig the Commodores every bit as much as The Coasters, and I likewise.......it was all part of the same genre and we could feel it!!

Hey Des
you never know mate.

I am well into the early music going as far back as to Bessie Smith etc.
Regards the 1950's I really dig them all
especially Little Esther and 'mainliner' or her 't'aint whatcha say'
but also with the Dominoes and the superb 'Deacon is movin' in'

As well as the superbJimmy Ricks and the Ravens,all the other well known giants.

But I always look out for the various others that were around
such as the likes of
The Original Crickets.
Wini Brown and her Boyfriends.
Steve Gibson and the original Red Caps.
5 Keys.
Ann Cole.
Gene and Eunice.
Peppermint Harris.
Eddie Cooley and the Dimples.
The Four Tunes.
The Queens.
Marie Knight.
as wellas the hundreds more that sound so nice
I have to spin them Thrice.

Mel/ I've read many of your posts and I'm in awe of your knowledge and collection.Am I wrong to think that you are not just a private collector/lover of this type of music?
And I gather you're also here in UK - Liverpool area?? Or am I mistaken in what I thought I'd read on some other Thread?
I'm not into most of what you tend to post - I just don't know the artists you regularly bring to the party.....I'm often up in Liverpool and maybe we can have a game of Darts some time....

Mel... "Ko Ko Mo" by Gene & Eunice (I had the 78 on the Combo label) still knocks me out.

Eddie Cooley had a hit with "Priscilla" but was also the co-writer of Little Willie John's "Fever." Hope he made some money off that one...

Hey Des
Your spot on amigo.
12 miles from Liverpool or Everton as I call it as I am a big Evertonian.
I am just a collector of over 32 years now.
Rare Soul/northern soul is my forte
especially obscure 4 beats to the bar uptempo dancers.
But am into all the stuff that I mentioned above.
Plus Gospel and some jazz.
Anytime your up this end Des

You've really gone up in my estimation.
I have a good mate who lives on the Wirral(Pensby) and he's a major Toffee.....I've replaced Gazza in my heartfelt football heroes with Roonaldo....big season ahead for the lad......but for my sins,I'm a Spurs fan.
Haven't lost at Goodison for yonks(as u know).I was there last season for the opening game - when the old-Toffees were rolled out to their adoring fans AND,of course,Wayne played his first (maybe first start,come to think of it) game -- and he looked awesome even on that day.
Probably not too many know what the hell we're talking about here --- still,there was the recent post about Baseball....so we'll be ok.
