Welcome to Litsy!

#LilithJuly #DooWop Some of the most collectible records are of early & obscure doowop groups , really a movement of guys singing a cappella on the stoops of Brooklyn. Some songs like Earth Angel by the Starlighters & some of the songs on the American Graffiti soundtrack like Why do Fools Fall in Love by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers were big hits.Frankie had a voice of an Angel!They were from Harlem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q96ylFiQK_I

I looked for books set in the fifties, the prime time of #DooWop & saw one of my favorites & also a favorite book-to-film adaptation (except for the unfortunate Colin Firth character & his mustache. Don‘t make my Mr. Darcy an ugly sleazeball!😱). Anyway, there‘s a college dance & music & Fats Domino on the movie soundtrack, so I think it counts. 😉

“Wait, you don‘t understand. If you don‘t play, there‘s no music. If there‘s no music, they don‘t dance. If they don‘t dance, they don‘t kiss and fall in love and I‘m history.”

(Day 24 - #DooWop)

*DooWop, wow—couldn‘t think of anything—except hairdo(o)s? Okay, so, remembering “Steel Magnolias” here—not a book, but a play followed by a movie that did more to illustrate the friendships of women on screen than any other movie since “The Women” (1939 version). We need literature & plays & movies like these to acknowledge, affirm, & celebrate the beauty & the singularity of the bonds between women friends. ♥️

Maybe not too much #DooWop but definitely lots of Mowtown and Northern Soul.... Such a fun book/ movie... I just loved the dialogue once I got used to it!

#LilithJuly 🎶 I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do🎶and there may have been a little #DooWop too🎷🎤🎸🎺👅🤘🏽Mick Jagger may be 76 years young but he still prances like a 16 year old🙌🏻 still not reading but I‘m having fun ❤️

#Doowop reminds me of this movie... if it was in the soundtrack to a 90‘s version. #lilithjuly

Heather Wells was a pop sensation in the 1980s, rivaling the Debbie Gibson‘s and Tiffany‘s of the music world. Now, she works at an university and lives with her ex‘s brother, who is very dreamy, in a dangerous sort of way. And, she solves murders.

I read this ages ago, and it is typical Cabot: lots of fluff with humor. It‘s also one of her adult series. #DooWop #LilithJuly
