August 20, 2024 Records of the Day

Weddings and marriage have been often-used themes for some of the classic Doo Wop songs of the 50’s and 60’s such as “To the Aisle” by the 5 Satins, “Three Steps from the Altar,” by Shep & the Limelights, and “Babalu’s Wedding Day” by the Eternals. Perhaps the most successful is “When We Get Married” by the Dreamlovers. It reached the top-10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961. A copy on Heritage Records is worth up to $40.00, but their 1960 single, “For the First Time,” on Len Records can get you $500.00 today.
