The Vogues


 

Another of the hit making acts originating out of the
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, the Vogues took their
name from a popular teenage dance hall the Vogue
Terrace. The quartet consisting of Bill Burkette, Don Miller,
Hugh Geyer and Chuck Blasko first struck gold with “You’re
The One” in 1965 and followed with “Five O’Clock World”
in the same year on the local Co & Ce label.

In 1968 record producer Dickie Glasser persuaded
them to move to Reprise Records where a song
previously recorded by Glen Campbell, “Turn Around Look At Me”
gave them another gold record. It was followed by a song
first made popular by Bobby Helms in 1957, “My Special Angel.
Among their other Hit Parade successes were
“Magic Town,” “The Land of Milk and Honey,”
“Please Mr. Sun,” “Till,” “No Not Much” and “Moments to Remember.”

The Vogues were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001.
