The Chordettes were a female popular singing quartet, usually singing a cappella, and specializing in traditional pop music.
They were first organized in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in 1946. The original members of the group were Janet Ertel (1913-November 4, 1988), Carol Bushman (her sister-in-law), Dorothy Schwartz, and Jinny Osborn (or Lockard) (April 25, 1927-May 19, 2003). In 1952, Lynn Evans replaced Schwartz, and in 1953, Margie Needham replaced Osborn (who was having a baby), though Osborn later returned to the group.

In 1952, Lynn Evans replaced Schwartz, and in 1953, Margie Needham replaced Osborn (who was having a baby), though Osborn later returned to the group. Nancy Overton also was a member of the group at a later time. Originally they sang folk music in the style of The Weavers, but eventually changed to a harmonizing style of the type known as barbershop harmony. Part of this change seems to be influenced by Osborn's father.
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, Talent Scouts in 1949.They went on to feature status on Godfrey's daily program, and then went on to make a number of recordings 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 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 the top twenty with 1958's "Lollipop," and also charted with a vocal version of the themes from television's Zorro (1959) and the film Never on Sunday (1961). Other hits for the girls included "Eddie My Love," "Born to Be With You," and "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, kicking off the first episode of the show over 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.

The Chordettes Lyrics
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Don't have nobody to call my own (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
Mr. Sandman (yes) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr. Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)
(Bung, bung, bung, bung, bung, bung)

@Ashleigh S When I was in elementary school, it was very strict all year along, except a few days where we had "art class", "cooking class" and even "sewing class" and "ironing class". Plus all the other "one day" things, like visiting water facilities, farms, woods (yes, we had days which were 8 hours walking around in the wood, collecting leafs, jumping from a tree ^^)...
I do remember that we had to sing canons (So, each person start with a slight delay on the same song), we had to repeat melodies by clapping and humming. There was also a tube in which you sung and you had your own voice coming back to you with delay, most people were unable to sing and babled. We had to read basic notes (white, black, dotted and those with ligatures) and clap the rythme. We also had to perform in the choral!
And there was the recorder, where it was a total mess even on the simplest music due to a lack of coordination, poor memory and bad blowing.
So, yeah, we were definitely aware of how hard it is 🤣
And there were not "Oh, you can't sing, so I won't ask". Nope, if you were out of tune, the teacher would ask everyone to stop and get you in tune while others are wanting to laugh, but too scared because of the teacher. And we knew who was tone deaf, because the teacher just stopped intervening, besides complimenting when the guy got it about right!
Now, music classes are given in high school, but it seems people fail to appreciate how difficult it is. I think that this is because, contrary to elementary school, it's more focused. While in elementary school, it's more experimenting and basic understanding of everything, more geared toward having a correct appreciation.
And when you look, all visits where like that. When we visited the water facilities, I don't think it was for us to learn how it work, but appreciate that we can turn on the tap and get water. That it's not magical and a lot happens behind the scene. All of that were more explaining how the gear of society work and help us find our place.
I had a friend who lacked that education and he made me laugh, because we had a current breakout and he was astonished that the taps were working 🤣So, I had to explain how water tower work and how water find its level in a recipient, whatever its shape is. It was like magic to him with questions like "even if the pipe is so small", "why are the toilet not overflowing" etc. Guy was a software engineer, but when you don't know...And didn't understood what the dots meant on the iron either...He was clueless about a lot of basic stuff! Even cleanings supplies were a mystery to him. Had to tell him that vinegar doesn't play nice with linoleum, that you use clear water for wood and need to apply oil etc. Even the washing machine was a challenge!
It sounds stupid to have 15 students looking at their clothes label and trying to decode the symbols with the teacher, then being shown a washing machine and its various buttons. But it helped tremendously later on.
All of that to say that to appreciate how difficult is something, you've to be a minimum educated on it. Not necessarily by school though.
