![]() ![]() I have been on WordPress now for over a decade. Indeed, the nostalgia and passion of doo wop lies not only in the memories and experiences from way back when it lies within the music. I hope this site allows people of all ages to see that doo wop is a spirit, a zeitgeist from a chaotic time in America when people were divided and could turn only to their own voices to express their passion and angst. You might have even experienced it while listening to Meghan Trainor (Yes, doo wop music is still recorded and produced today)! The purpose of this site is to share and reflect upon some great music from a very tumultuous time in history, and also upon the legacy this music has left. But the truth is, most of us (regardless where in the world you're from) have all experienced doo wop at some point in our lives, whether it was while watching a movie, a TV show, or scrolling through the radio stations. Some may not have ever experienced doo wop music and for those who have, they may not find this music "nostalgic". We all have individual tastes, favorites. I acknowledge that everyone experiences music differently. There is an innocence to it, a certain romantic charm that warms the heart and brings a few tears. ![]() However, as a young adult who certainly did not live through the 1950s and 1960s, I also become very nostalgic when listening to this music. Many might say that the nostalgia comes from the individual memories and experiences people had with this music back in the day (at the diners, the drive-in movies, in the backseat of the ’57 Chevy, on the street corners). But most importantly, it is nostalgic music. This music is soulful, passionate, romantic. “Doo wop” is an indelible style of popular music that filled the airwaves and hearts of many throughout the 1950s and 1960s. As a psychologist and musician, I am fascinated by the soul and passion that lives within the many songs from these tumultuous times.
