Da Doo Ron Ron is generally regarded as the true beginning of the now famous Phil Spector Wall Of Sound recording technique. Spector originally had singer Darlene Love record Da Doo Ron Ron at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles. After singing lead on the Crystals' previous hits He's A Rebel and He's Sure the Boy I Love with her group The Blossoms, Darlene Love was still working as a session singer and being paid scale. After singing on Da Doo Ron Ron, she asked for an artist's contract, and Spector responded by erasing her vocals and flying in Crystals lead singer Dolores La La Brooks to replace the lead vocal. The backup vocals were provided by The Blossoms and another one of Spector's favorite backing singers,Cher.
Still one of the greatest tracks recorded by anyone, a timeless, classic pop tune that will still be getting sung 100 years hence..........
For more classic pop visit here ...I don't think I've had 135 comments covering all my postings over the last year or so...one can but hope...
Have a great weekend....
