Doo-Wop music achieved mainstream popularity in the 1950s and 60s. Built upon vocal harmony, doo-wop was one of the most mainstream, pop-oriented R&B styles of the time. The term doo-wop first appeared in print in 1961. American street corner doo-wop groups were seen in urban cities such as New York, especially the Bronx and Brooklyn. Some of the Italian American groups with national chart hits included: Dion and the Belmonts, in 1958, with I Wonder Why; The Capris with Theres A Moon Out Tonight, in 1960; The Demensions; The Elegants; The Mystics; The Duprees; Vito & the Salutations; The Gaylords; Johnny Maestro; and The Del-Satins. Other Italian American groups included Randy & the Rainbows, who charted with their 1963 hit single Denise.Doo-wops influence continued in soul, pop, and rock groups of the 1960s, including The Four Seasons, girl groups, and vocal surf music performers such as Jan and Dean and the Beach Boys.
