MARINER	Music Formerly Known As Rhythm & Blues (65* d)	RE: Music Formerly Known As Rhythm & Blues	07 Apr 07
Just watched The Capris on YouTube. Not bad at all when you consider all the years that have passed since they first sang it.Nice bit of falsetto . I think the first time i became aware of Doo-Wop was when i used to listen to Radio Luxembourg's Jamboree on Staurday nights, way back in the 50s . For some reason I always associate The Del-Vikings "Whispering Bells" with that show, probably heard it first there .The Del-Vikings were said to be the first multi racial vocal group to chart .I seem to remember that they were all Air Force men ,which might explain how they first got together.(both races were in the forces ).Whereas I'm led to believe out on civvy street inter racial mixing was not so common in the 50s . Were they the first multi racial vocal group to make it?.Off hand i can't think of any others before them.
