Doo Wop 50

1999 marks the 50th anniversary of Doo Wop music, or vocal-group harmony songs popular during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Doo Wop 50 reunites more than 100 original performers, the biggest and best, to sing their mega-hits. From the Platters' "Great Pretender" to Gene Chandler's "Duke Of Earl," this non-stop fast-paced pledge special includes many magic moments like The Chantels reuniting after 40 years, host Jerry Butler singing his first hit recording. The program was taped before a very enthusiastic Pittsburgh audience.
