Uptempo Doo-Wop Songs

More Criteria: These songs were chosen mainly for their initial and
Lists lasting popularity, with some weight being given to their overall
impact on the Doo Wop genre. The Doo-Wop era essentially
started in around 1953 and was pretty much over by the end of
1963, although there are a few notable exceptions from outside
of that time period. If there were two significant versions of a
particular song, both groups are listed in the same slot, with the
more significant "Doo-Wop" version being listed first.
