And then you have those who believe that "The Beatles" somehow "rescued" us from the sound of the early 60s....I do love the Beatles...But I also love the sounds of the early 60s too....Especially those girl groups who by the way, the Beatles themselves idolized and even covered their music! And during the British invasion, a LOT of good "northern soul" music was born...While at the same time the sound of "Motown" forged on despite the invasion.
The white pop versions were certainly very successful. In general, pop music of the 30s and 40s was made up of big bands and crooners. The early 50s white pop was an effort to retain the same audience while incorporating the new beat. Other than specialized doo-wop shows, there are few oldies stations left around that play 50s music. When they did exist, they played the oldies their audiences wanted to hear. This usually did not include the white pop cover versions.
