The musical genre that became known as Doo Wop came up in the 1940s in the African-American communities of our large cities. Engaging melodic lines, tight group harmonies, lots of of short, made-up, single-syllable, almost words (e.g., doo wop) that serve as punctuated placeholders for the harmonies, all play a part in Doo Wop's enchantment.St. Louis’s own Nostalgia (born The Del Vanes in the 1950’s on the streetcorners of North St. Louis) comes in with an afternoon of the genre-defining Doo Wop of the Dells, The Spaniels, The Moonglows, The Ink Spots, The Flamingos, Little Anthony and the Imperials, The Coasters, The Drifters, Jackie Wilson and Gene Chandler.
