The Fleetwoods - Voice Your Choice
The Fleetwoods were a pop vocal trio from Olympia, Washington and were the only pop group from the Rock and Roll era to have two Number One hits in the same year, 1959. The trio consisted of founder Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis and Gary Troxel. They were considered by many to be ahead of their time with their intimate harmonies, intricate counterpoint and vocal arrangements.
Between 1959 and 1963 they charted 11 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including three Top Ten and two Gold Records.
This week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice presents The Fleetwoods, featuring these two Top Ten records for your votes: Mr. Blue and Tragedy. This is going to be a tough decision and I am sure it will be a very close vote outcome.
Come to the Voice Your Choice page and cast your vote for the song you prefer. We'll play the song with the most votes in Hour 3 on the next edition of Treasure Island Oldies.
