Artist:The Bobbettes
Song:Mr.Lee
Album:The Doo Wop Box
If you're going to talk about essential Doo Wop songs, Mr. Lee by The Bobbettes has to be included. They were one of the first girl groups of the rock era. They were originally known as the Harlem Queens and went to school together at P.S. 109 in Harlem. Atlantic signed them and in 1957 the girls came up with the song Mr. Lee inspired by one of their teachers. It's a classic and their one big chart hit. Of course the 4CD Doo Wop Box from Rhino is the definitive comp of the great Doo Wop of the 50s and well worth getting.
