For some reason I associate bowling with doo-wop. I love these early "barbershop quartet" style songs, and these are just five of my favorites. Interesting factoid; Billy Joel recorded all of the vocal tracks for "The Longest Time" by himself. Check out the rest of the "An Innocent Man" album for similar songs - he has called it a homage to the music of his childhood.
Hrm interesting about Billy Joel doing all the vocals, I watched the Movie "Ray" a few years ago and Ray Charles did a similar thing when he had problems with his female vocalists - he did the backing female tracks lol.
