Listen to the Rain: Doom Wop Faves

 

In an effort to hopefully expand people’s palates regarding vocal groups, I present to you a compilation of what I call DOOM WOP.  45’s on the ballad side of town, but mostly about longing, love lost, gained and lost again. Some maybe by chance, others by devious means like “feeding your baby poison."

These are 45’s to listen to late at night, or when you're melancholy. They’re not all downers, but even if they are, its music that hopefully transports you as it does me….

Enjoy Listen to the Rain – Doom Wop Faves.
