There are exciting things going on in our doo-wop corner. This CD, from the group that began its career as 'The Plazas' in 1966 (!) and is now known as First Things First, includes twenty-two amazing a cappella doo-wop favorites. With guest appearances by founding member of The Deep River Boys, Harry Douglas, (83 years of age!) on 'St. Louis Blues' and 'Dry Bones,' this CD is a feel-good find. The warm tenor of 'Just My Imagination,' the sweet inspiration of 'Change in My Life' that has the good will of church on Sunday, and the exuberance of 'Yakety Yak' are enchanting, and evoke a sentiment that is missing in the sounds of today. The earnest declaration of 'When We Are Made As One' will melt any heart. |
