Born on the street corners of urban America, rhythm & blues and doo wop singing reached its peak in the 1950\u2019s, but still has a strong following today. While doo wop singing began as an African American art form, by the late 1950\u2019s it was enjoyed by singers of all races. Doo wop harmony in its purist form is acappella (without instrumentals).
