🎙️✨ Did You Know This About Doo Wop? ✨🎶

Most people think of Doo Wop as just “oldies” — but did you know this sweet, soulful style actually grew out of street corners and stairwells in the 1940s?

📍 Origin Story:
Doo Wop was born when young singers, often in urban neighborhoods, couldn’t afford instruments — so they became the instruments.

🎵 Basslines with the mouth.
🎵 Harmonies from the heart.
🎵 Nonsense syllables like “shoo-bop” or “doo-wah” to keep the rhythm alive.

It was raw, honest, and deeply human — music made from nothing, and yet full of everything: love, heartbreak, hope.

💡 That’s the magic of Doo Wop — it reminds us that music doesn’t need perfection. Just people who feel something.
