The Chordettes were a popular female singing quartet from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. They are best known for their hit songs “Mr. Sandman” and “Lollipop.” I asked Carol Buschmann about their successful career and Dick Clark’s contribution to their success. She also volunteered some info I had never heard before.
Some great memories Bob. I did not know that the Chordettes were from Wisconsin!! Blows my mind!
