Doo Wop
Significant from the mid-1950's to the early 1960's; however,
the last mainstream Doo Wop hit was Billy Joel's The Longest Time
in 1984 which rose to number 14 on the Billboard Top 40. Doo Wop
relied heavily on harmony and vocals in lieu of instruments which
were too expensive at the time for street corner groups.
