Doo-wop is a vocal-centric subgenre of rhythm and blues that emerged in the 1940s and peaked in the 1950s. It originated primarily among African American youth singing together in urban centers like New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
Because these groups often formed on street corners, high school hallways, or stoops where acoustics were good and instruments weren't available, the style is deeply rooted in vocal improvisation and making the most of the human voice.
