There are several characteristics
of doo-wop music, one of which is the unique range of voices.
The typical ranges of voices in a doo-wop group are the lead
singer, the falsetto/first tenor, second tenor, and a baritone
singer. While falsetto was usually done as background, one
group in particular, the Four Seasons, capitalized on their
lead singer, Frankie Valli’s, amazing 3 and a half octave
vocal range, making falsetto the lead voice. Another characteristic
of doo-wop music is that it is usually very simple and easy
to sing along to, which is one of the main factors leading
to its success. Many people enjoyed it because they could
participate in it, and recreate it themselves.
