Title: Don't be put off by the cover
Review: I bought this book because it is the only history of The Drifters. I thought it would be some quicky PR booklet. It is far more. There was obviously not enough about The Drifters to make a whole book so the author pads it by giving an EXCELLENT history of Doo Wop from its origins in gospel to its many transitions in the 1950's and 1960's. It is a very, very well-written and insightful book. The photos are also first rate. This book delivers far more than I had anticipated. Keep in mind that it was written in 1972 so has nothing about the various Doop Wop revivals led by Sh Na Na and PBS.
