"Vividly describes an enchanting time on the local music scene,
when a handful of teenagers could taste rock 'n' roll stardom with
harmonies they cooked up on a street corner."--Chicago Tribune
"A meticulous portrait of the music's vital role in the city's
black social fabric."--Chicago Reader
"A truly significant contribution. . . . A great deal of the
history Pruter has captured would have died along with the
musicians unless he had documented it."--Colin Escott, author
of Good Rockin' Tonight: The Story of Sun Records
"A piece of major scholarship . . . that widens the perspective on
Chicago as a vital center in the history of African American
popular music. Meticulously researched and based on extensive
interviews with the remaining singers from the
scene, Doowop is destined to be a classic."--Ray Funk,
authority on African American vocal groups
