What are some really good 1950s songs?

Why are the same songs sang by so many different groups in the 1950s?

• The same title of songs are sang by so many different groups especially doo wops, why?

• Answer:

  I think it was a lack of good songs in that style. Who knows, maybe they figured if it worked for one group, it would work for them. Sometimes, it did work. Two groups would have a hit with the same song. Did kind of muddy the waters tho. It could be something simpler, they would do the same songs in live performances, so they also recorded them. I don't think people paid attention to what group did what, they just liked a certain song, didn't matter what group did it, since doo wop is pretty much the same no matter the group. No real telling, now. I do know the Temptations and the Four tops in the sixties and seventies did the same thing, doing the same songs. Therefore, it's really easy to confuse the two groups. Could have been on purpose. Nobody not involved knows for certain, I'm sure each group had their own reasons.
