Summary note
In Doo-Wop Acappella scholar and singer Lawrence Pitilli explores doo-wop acapella groups as manifestations of urban change, mass migrations, ethnic acculturation, and changing radio and recording industries. He reveals how doo-wop groups displayed the dynamics of cultural change in the "sounds"-sonic and linguistic-that every generation seeks to make and remake for themselves.
