Before there was hip hop, there was doo wop; and it was sung a cappella on street corners all across the United States. The popular group, RENAISSANCE, masterfully singsâ¦street corner style âDoo Wopâ

âMeet me on the Corner,â is an all a cappella doo wop CD that recreates the street corner experience of the 50's and early 60's. Itâs theater of the mind featuring 14
songs that pay homage to the genius of Sam Cooke, Clyde McPhatter, Harvey Fuqua & the Moonglows along with numerous other soulful pioneering forefathers of American song. The lone contemporary composition featured is John Legendâs âIt Donât Have to Change.â This wistful tune is utilized as an inventive bridge back into time celebrating to the good old songs of yesteryear.

RENAISSANCE recaptures a moment in time from an age of innocence when singing was an interactive communal experience. The songs and reflections of the group allows the listener to experience first hand, a nostalgic look at a by gone era.

Stop by this virtual street corner and youâll re-live that enchanting moment of your first kiss, back seats & bobby socks and Drive-in-Movies. All you have to do is listen and remember.
