@highstreetrock: "Blue Moon" by The Marcels is a doo-wop rendition of the classic ballad originally written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934. Released in 1961 with Colpix Records, The Marcels’ version gave the song a bold new life with its upbeat tempo, energetic rhythm, and unforgettable vocal intro. Their recording quickly soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also topped the UK Singles Chart, making it an international hit. The Marcels, a racially integrated vocal group from Pittsburgh, transformed the sentimental standard into a rock and roll anthem, showcasing the growing influence of doo-wop on mainstream music. Their version of "Blue Moon" remains one of the most iconic and widely recognized covers of the song, and it helped establish doo-wop as a defining sound of early 1960s pop music. #50smusic #60smusic #fy #fyp #oldiesmusic #rocknroll #doowop #coversong
