The Doo-Wop Singers Poem by Practicing Poetess
The Doo-Wop Singers
Part 2 of The 1950's series
Skip and Buddy, Junior and Chuck
Decided one day to test their luck
And so, they formed a street-corner quartet
The neighbourhood kids said it was the best yet.
While Buddy sang tenor, Junior sang bass
And Skip did falsetto, while making a face
And Chuck sort of sang from an in-between place,
While he stood with one foot on his guitar case.
They huddled together under the lamplight
And sang harmonies well into the night
Always hoping there'd be a talent scout near
To make them an offer within the year.

Doo-Wop singing was in favor for quite a while in the 1950s. Many were male quartets, as in your poem. Do I recognize Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, although they were rock singers not doo-wop?
Haha Michael, Chuck and Buddy were merely popular nicknames for boys during that era- - no relation to the famous rock singers. Strictly doo-wop here. I had it more in mind something along the lines of early Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons when I wrote this. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!
