Unissant le meilleur du gospel, du jazz, du blues et du rock, les groupes vocaux de rhythm & blues furent sans doute la creme de la musique populaire afro-americaine - la sublime soul d'avant la soul. Etiquete tardivement doo wop, ce genre fondateur rassemble de renversants groupes afro-americains aussi obscurs que virtuoses, des Ink Spots aux Robins. Leur style tres influent, leur puissance artistique ont considerablement marque l'histoire de la soul et du rock, des les plus beaux succes d'Elvis Presley comme Don't Be Cruel, de Clyde McPhatter, Dion aux Beach Boys jusqu'a Lou Reed, don't le rare tout premier enregistrement de 1962 figure ici. Bruno Blum raconte cette tradition des chanteurs des coins de rues devenus d'ephemeres vedettes le temps d'une poignee de morceaux irresistibles. Une anthologie reellement indispensable. Merging the best of gospel, jazz, blues and rock, the rhythm & blues vocal groups were no doubt the cream of American popular music. Belatedly tagged 'doo wop,' astounding African-American groups - both virtuoso and obscure, such as The Ink Spots and The Robins - came together as a founding genre. Their very influential style and artistic power left a tremendous mark on both soul and rock music, as early as some of Elvis Presley's greatest hits like 'Don't Be Cruel,' The Drifters, Dion, The Beach Boys and even Lou Reed, whose rare first 1962 recording is included here. Bruno Blum tells the story of the street corner tradition singers, who became short-lived wonders, thanks to a handful of irresistible tunes. A truly indispensable anthology.
