Riga 1: {{S\|musica}} ~~{{T\|lingua=inglese\|argomento=gruppi musicali\|data=febbraio 2008}}~~ '''The Chordettes''' fu un quartetto vocale femminile [[Stati Uniti d'America\|americano]], specializzato in musica popolare, solitamente cantata [[a cappella]]. Il gruppo si formò a [[Sheboygan]] ([[Wisconsin]]) nel [[1946]]. Fondatrici del gruppo furono [[Janet Ertel]] ([[1913]]-[[1988]]), la cognata [[Carol Bushman]], [[Dorothy Schwartz]] e [[Jinny Osborn]] ([[1928]]-[[2003]]). Nel [[1952]] [[Lynn Evans]] sostituì Dorothy Schwartz e nel [[1953]], [[Margie Needham]] sostituì Jinny Osborn, in attesa di un figlio, la quale comunque tornò più tardi a far parte del gruppo; [[Nancy Overton]] inoltre fece parte del gruppo alla fine della loro carriera. <!-- Jinny Osborn was born in [[Seattle, Washington]]. She was born ''Virginia Cole'', the daughter of O. H. "King" Cole, who was president of the [[Barbershop Harmony Society]] (then known as ''SPEBSQSA''), and Katherine Flack. After performing locally in Sheboygan, they went on [[Arthur Godfrey]]'s [[radio]] program ''[[Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts\|Talent Scouts]]'' in [[1949]]. They held feature status on Godfrey's daily program, and then recorded for [[Columbia Records]]. In [[1953]], Godfrey's music director and orchestra leader, [[Archie Bleyer]], founded [[Cadence Records]]. He signed a number of Godfrey regulars and former regulars, including the Chordettes, who had a number of hit records for Cadence. Their biggest hit was [[Mr._Sandman\|''Mr. Sandman'']] in [[1954]]. Archie Bleyer himself is on that record along with the group, Bleyer stripping the sound down the better not to clutter the girls' voices. They also hit #2 with [[1958]]'s '''[[Lollipop (song) \| Lollipop]]'''," and also charted with a vocal version of the themes from television's ''[[Zorro (TV series)\|Zorro]]'' ([[1959]]) and the film ''[[Never on Sunday]]'' ([[1961]]). Other hits for the girls included "Eddie My Love," "Born to Be With You," "Lay Down Your Arms" in [[1956]], and "Just Between You and Me" in [[1957]]. ~~Janet Ertel married Bleyer in 1954. Her daughter Jackie married another Cadence recording star, Phil Everly of [[The Everly Brothers]]. She died of cancer in [[1988]].~~ ~~The Chordettes appeared on [[American Bandstand]] August 5, 1957, the first episode on the ABC Television Network.~~ ~~In [[1961]], Jinny Osborn left the group, and they were unable to find a replacement with whom they were happy, leading to a breakup.~~ ~~The group was inducted into the [[Vocal Group Hall of Fame]] in [[2001]].~~ ~~Jinny Osborn (by that time Jinny Janis) died in 2003. -->~~ ==Principali successi== ''Mr. Sandman'' ([[1954]]), di cui versioni remixate vennero eseguite nella colonna sonora dei film ''[[Philadelphia (film)\|Philadelphia]]'', ''[[Ritorno al futuro]]'' e dal [[gruppo musicale]] [[Germania\|tedesco]] ''[[Blind Guardian]]'' ''Teenage Goodnight'' ([[1956]]) Line 40 ⟶ 22: ==Collegamenti esterni == [http://www.vocalgroup.org/inductees/the_chordettes.html Scheda sul sito della ''The Vocal Group Hall of Fame''] [http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=THE\|CHORDETTES&sql=11:k9ftxqq5ldae~T0 Scheda su Allmusic]
