The genre originated in TheForties and TheFifties, alongside RAndB, but its popularity faded away at the start of the 1960s in favor of {{Soul}}. Nevertheless doowop had an enormous impact on pop music. It was the TropeNamer for the DooWopProgression that is still in vogue today. Music/DavidBowie also likes using doowop in his music. "Drive-In Saturday" from ''Music/AladdinSane'' (1973) and "Golden Years" (1975) from ''Music/StationToStation'' are sung in this style.

The genre originated in TheForties and TheFifties, alongside RAndB, but its sometimes called "bird group" music, since, after the success of The Ravens, an early pioneer of the style, a lot of groups played FollowTheLeader and named themselves after birds (as a quick scan of the list below will show). Apart from a few isolated hits, the genre's popularity faded away at the start of the 1960s in favor of {{Soul}}. Nevertheless doowop had an enormous impact on pop music.

* The Flamingos: Best remembered for "I Only Have Eyes For You", with the amazing "shi-bop-she-bop" echo effect, produced by the band's close harmony; a lush romantic classic recorded on, believe it or not, [[UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve Halloween day]] 1958.

* The Flamingos: Best remembered for "I Only Have Eyes For You", You" (1959), with the amazing "shi-bop-she-bop" echo effect, produced by the band's close harmony; a lush romantic classic recorded on, believe it or not, [[UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve Halloween day]] 1958. day]]. Also one of the first big hits of the {{Rock}} era to exceed three minutes in length (3:20).
Added DiffLines:
* The Tymes: "So Much in Love" (1963), probably the last genuine doo-wop song to reach #1 on the ''Billboard'' chart, though it also took obvious inspiration from Music/JohnnyMathis-style pop (and they followed it up with a CoverVersion of Mathis' debut hit "Wonderful! Wonderful!"). Later switched to {{Soul}}.
