[edit] Doo-wop

The teenagers were not a doo-wop group:

  1. Their style is not what was later dubbed doo-wop. "Earth Angel" would be a better contemporary example
  2. "Doo-wop" is an anachronism. The term was coined about 20 years later to describe oldies of the era. To use the term in an encyclopedia article about a '50s group is inappropriate.
