I love the "doo wop" chapter of rock music!

In the 1970s, I took an interest in the "doo wop" chapter of rock music.

It happened because of the American Graffiti soundtrack and a Sha Na Na concert that I attended with friends!

I felt in love with the songs and the harmonies.   (It was also the music that some of our parents danced to in the late 1950s!)

"Doo wop" was a great period in the history of rock music.  The format was great songs, super singers, spectacular harmonies and the kind of music that every girl wants to dance to!  

What more do you need?

"Once in a while" by The Chimes and "Til Then" by The Classics are two of my all time favorites.

"Once in awhile

will you try to give one little thought to me
Though someone else maybe nearer your heart
Once in awhile

will you dream of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two drifted apart
In love's smoldering ember

one spark may remain
If love still can remember,

the spark may burn again a-a-a-a-and
I know that I'll be contented

with yesterday's mem-ory,
Knowing you'll think of me once in awhile...."

"Till then, my darling, please wait for me
Till then, no matter when it may be
One day I know I'll be home again
Please wait (till) till then

Our dreams will live though we are apart
Our love will always stay in our hearts
Till then, when of the world will be free
Please wait for me

Although there are oceans we must cross
and mountains that we must climb
I know every gain must have a loss,
so pray that our loss is nothing but time

Till then, we'll dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory
Till then, when I will hold you again
Please wait till then...."
