Summary: A Definite Must-Have !!!
Review: A nice addition to anyone's musical library, especially fans of the greatest music ever-Doo Wop! Hosted by the great Jerry Butler, many groups sound as wonderful as they did 40+ years ago and many have most of the original group members. Gene Chandler gets an A+ for "Duke of Earl". Others who sounded fantastic include the Cleftones,the Jive Five,the Capris,the Penguins ("Earth Angel")and the Cadillacs performing the classic "Speedo". Johnny Maestro-formerly of the Crests and more recently with Brooklyn Bridge-brought back memories with "Sixteen Candles".The sound of this video is tops!! Warrants my first 5 Star review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Doo Wop at 50 2pk DVD
Review: As several reviewers have stated, when I saw the PBS program, I had to have the DVD. I grew up with this music. So what if some of the voices have faded. After all they are at least 40 years older than when the recordings were first made.The camera work was outstanding and all the groups looked as if they were having fun as well as captivating the audience. Most of my favorite groups were there. The Marcells were great! As were the Cadillacs, Skyliners, and Jive 5. The Platters did a great job. We all know that Herb Reed is the only original, but he does a commendable job of keeping the sound alive. My 8 year old granddaughter is now a Doo Wop fan. I will buy the 51 concert when it is on DVD.

Summary: Great Show
Review: For those of you out there who enjoy the sounds of Doo Wop this DVD is for you and is certainly a keepsake for anyone who remembers that period of time or who just enjoys listening to good music. I found this musical presentation to be very good in it's own way and it seemed to have captured some fine musical moments in here worth watching such as Gene Chandler's vocal on "Duke Of Earl" and Jerry Buttler's soulfull rendering on "Your Precious Love" which were the two exciting highlights for me on this disc. This is one video presentation I think worth buying because it gathers together some of the finest performances ever assembled in one place and that it is truly a concert event that may never happen again in our lifetime. Or in any future lifetime. I found the sound quality of this DVD to be very good and the visual quality not to bad eather. So what are you waiting for? Go out and buy this.

Review: Get it, also get Doo Wop 51 & Rock, rhythm & Doo Wop. These are a triology collection. Each performance is like the original 45's except with modern, nice and crisp sound of today's cds.

Summary: Defining a Musical Era
Review: I can't imagine anyone growing up in the mid-fifties not feeling a special attachment to the music contained in this heartfelt tribute to the songs and singers of a generation. I watched the performances for the first time with a lump in my throat. For all of us who used to fall asleep at night listening to the voices of Alan Freed, Murray the K, and B. Mitchell Reed, this is an incredible collection of sounds and memories.Hearing again (and seeing!)legends like Pookie Hudson(Spaniels), Willie Winfield (Harptones), and Harvey Fuqua (Moonglows), sounding even better than they did in those long ago years, reminds me of how fortunate we were to be a part of that musical period.From the Skyliners to the Flamingos to the Cleftones, this is an incredible treat. Witnessing the sheer joy and love of the music shared by every performer on stage is something special. This DVD is essential to anyone who ever felt the magic of those early years of Rock and Roll. This is a performance that we are not likely to ever see again.

Review: I first saw this on PBS and had to have it. This is the best DVD concert album I own. The quality of the recording is breath taking and to actually see the performers of the great recordings I grew up hearing sound so good, was amazing. You'll never get tired of playing this DVD, I highly recommend this DVD.
