Wesley Lake  Ocean Grove side. May, 2015.  Can you see a star?    By Paul Goldfinger © Click to enlarge.

 

Here’s a classic but largely unknown Doo Wop song called “I See a Star” by the Roulettes.

If one reviews the internet world of Doo Wops, this group is known, but I never heard of them or of this song.

But this song has all the classic doo wop components.

Any comments by any of those fifties survivors who danced to this music or just played 45’s on a little player which you could take on a date or listen to in bed?

   Forgot to mention the definitive book on Doo Wop is : The Complete Book Of Doo Wop . Written by Dr. Anthony Griffin(R.I.P.) and Dr. Matthew Schiff . They shared a practice in Long Branch and shared a love of Doo Wop music .

   Southside Johnny who Is from and lives in Ocean Grove is into Doo Wop . He collects Doo Wop 45rpm 7″ vinyl records . Supposedly has a big rare collection worth a lot .

   There used to be a bunch of guys in OG who would sing on the street corners(R.I.P. Boogie) . Probably were from Embury Ave as they called themselves the Emburys .

   Reblogged this on Blogfinger and commented:

   Joe Temperley passed away last month—a world famous baritone sax player.
