Even tho many of the songs in your list were recorded during the doo wop era, I do not consider them "doo wop". "I only have eyes for you" and "the great pretender" seem more like classic contemporary 1950s music. While doo wop, to me, seems more like songs that had those crazy/cute vocal runs in them( "Do bop see boop, boom-ba-boom boom boom", "Sha na na na na na na na na ahh, yip yip yip yip yip yip mum mum mum mum mum mum", Yip, yip yip yip, bome bo bo bo oompappacowow ringadingadingding", etc.) I would consider "zoom zoom zoom" by the collegiates "doo wop" But maybe the era or the people who classify/name music genres just lump everything in the 50s into one name, like doo wop.
