First line
Chance Records, along with Parrot, Chess, and United, was one of the pioneering labels in Chicago to record the new African American sounds that swept the city in the post-World War II years, the music of doowop harmony groups and Mississippi blues adapted to the urban scene with electrically amplified instruments.
From the rear cover
Doowop: The Chicago Scene provides histories of most of the labels and vocal groups in Chicago during the 1950s and early 1960s. The majority of the profiles are based on interviews with various members of the groups.
