**The Chordettes Bio** The Chordettes were a popular female singing quartet formed in 1946 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Known for their a cappella performances, they specialized in traditional popular music and were one of the longest-lived vocal groups, rooted in the mainstream pop and vocal harmonies of the 1940s and early 1950s. They first gained significant recognition with their hit "Mr. Sandman" in 1954 and continued to chart through the late 1950s and early 1960s, often covering rock and R&B songs. Their 1958 success "Lollipop" became one of their biggest hits. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001. The original members included Janet (Buschmann) (Ertel) Bleyer, who provided bass vocals from 1946 to 1957; Alice Mae (Buschmann) Spielvogel, who was with the group from 1946 to 1947; Dorothy "Dottie" (Hummitzsch) Schwartz, the lead vocalist from 1946 to 1952; and Jinny (Osborn) Lockard, who sang tenor from 1946 to 1953 and returned in 1954. In 1947, Carol Buschmann joined as baritone vocals, replacing her sister-in-law Alice Spielvogel. Lynn (Hargate) (Evans) Mand took over
