Here's a fascinating snapshot of the vocal group golden age, pressed by Pickwick/33 Records during their heyday of budget compilation releases in the 1960s and early 1970s. This particular gathering brings together four of the era's most commercially successful harmony groups, though it tells an interesting story about the music industry's racial dynamics of the 1950s. While The Platters were the genuine African American pioneers of the doo-wop and R&B crossover sound, The Diamonds, Gaylords, and Crew Cuts were white Canadian and American groups who built their careers largely on polished cover versions of Black artists' material – a common practice that helped bring rhythm and blues to mainstream white audiences, albeit often at the expense of the original creators.
