Heavy on Doo Wop

Vol. 6

Champ #106
Barcode: None

Review first published: 20.01.2002

Another in the series begun in 2001. Heavy On Doo Wop volume #6 continues with those rare, seldom heard Vocal Group Gems!! Again, a good mix of Rockers & Ballads to suit everyone’s taste. This CD offers you twenty-eight (28) tracks spanning from the early 50’s to the mid 60’s. I know you will find them all enjoyable.

Here now are the recordings from Heavy On Doo Wop Vol #6

1. Oh My Love - Little June & His Januarys ’59 Profile $150 (Good Rocker to open) play
