The purpose of this page is to acknowledge the people and publications which have added to my knowledge of this subject.
Also, there is much good knowledge to be found in two "Yahoo" clubs!! "Steve's Kewl Doo-Wop Shop", and "Doo-Wop Corner".
Discoveries Magazine is a monthly periodical that is a very good source for information about 1950s vocal groups.
