[Ads-l] Further Antedating of "Doo Wop"

[Shapiro, Fred]

doo wop (OED 1969)

1961 Chicago Defender 18-24 Mar. 25/1 (Newspapers.com)

A real doo-wop like those of many years ago, is making the scene but big in Chi-town and the Calumet area.  "BLUE MOON" by the Marsels is a wild jam that will be a stone hit.
