What does DOOWOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A style of vocal pop music from 1950s America built on smooth group harmony and nonsense syllables.
Doowop groups, often young singers from city street corners, sang soft background phrases like shoo-bop behind a lead voice and a simple romantic song. The style grew out of rhythm and blues and gospel, and it shaped later soul and early rock. The name is thought to imitate the repeated syllables themselves, much as the sound was first described by radio hosts.
