Movie Reviews of Doo Wop at 51 1 & 2
Movie Review: Doo-Wop 51
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read all of the reviews on Doo-Wop 51 as well as 50. I cannot believe no one has a mention for the Penquins on 50 and The Five Keys on 51. lead vocal by Cleve Duncan for the Penquins is unbelievable. he sang that song back in 1954, 48 years ago, and at 70 years young sent a chill down my spine, as a collector for many many years of black vocal groups, I never thought I'd get the chance to see him sing this song live, I have a mint british 78' of this track, and find his voice after all these years just fantastic. I want to thank the guys that got these vocal singers together again, it must have been very moving for the singers. one thing I find very strange, where in the audience are all the black people of the USA that bought this music. I know for a fact that in the late 40's if you were white you'd have trouble getting a copy of "count every star" by the Ravens for example, this is just an example, they wrote it in '49 and released it in 1950, so why are the paying public all white. one or two black people were there but I cannot believe that more black USA people would not have attended.On to The Five Keys, simply brilliant, I want the complete '51 show, I know Close your eyes was not the only song they sang, well done you have made an old bugger very happy, I am not in the USA I want you guys to know that the American Dream is alive, but no thanks to your GOVT. they wanted to wash all those black singers away. I am with you for Sept 11th. the sadest day I have ever witnest. time keeps on moving, and I know the singers on '50 and '51 are getting older just like us all, quick now...get these guys together soon and give the USA and the rest of the world a show of a life time. give us a little bit of history of the group before they sing who is origanal and maybe an old clip of the group, you'll have a show to die for if you did this. my end is a pray for those who have passed already. I'll be singing with you soon, thank you for taking the time to read this.
