Today from my Those Were the Days archives, I have resurrected a 1991interview with a member of the Chordettes.
Carol Buschman was a member of the group which hailed from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. They were on the first national broadcast of American Bandstand and wound up on television many times during the fifties.
Carol talked with me about how they wound up on national t.v.
The Chordettes were a bit of a novelty at first. They sang with Barbershop type harmonies and started before there were women's groups that were known as Sweet Adelines.
The Chordettes had two of the most played and recognized song of the 1950's with Mr. Sandman and Lollipop. The big hits and television shows led them to many top shows with the best known stars of the day.
During my time on the phone with Carol Buschman, she talked about touring and meeting the stars.
