Okay.
Here is my list of 10 songs, some or all of which could easily make somebody’s “Biggest Doo-Wop Hits Of All Time” list:

1. Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes
2. Gene Chandler - Duke of Earl
3. Lenny Welch - Since I Fell
4. Tymes - So Much In Love
5. Reflections - Romeo and Juliet
6. Skyliners - Since I Don’t Have You
7. Drifters - Save the Last Dance for Me
8. Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty One
9. Randy and the Rainbows - Denise
10. Rays - Silhouettes on the Shade

(Oh darn... How did I miss that Gene Chandler’s ‘Duke of Earl’ was #2 on the list?)
D’oh!

Those are all good choices. My favorite Lenny Welch tune is Rocket to the Moon (1958), and my favorite by the Rays is Tippity Top, from early 1956. If you flip "Silhouettes" over, you'll hear Daddy Cool (1957).

Sound tracks of some of the period movies like
Bronx Tale are excellent too i.e. it has Nights in White Satin; Ten Commandments of Love; I only have eyes for you, and for your precious love amongst others on it.

The early songs on part of the Goodfellows sound track are excellent also: Sincerely, Rags to Riches, Speedo, Baby I love you amongst others.

And last and best: American Grafitti with too many to list.
