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. Nancy Overton also was a member of the group at a later time.

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.
Jinny Osborn (by that time Jinny Janis) died in 2003

Hello, hello, hello there
"Hello! ma Baby,
Hello! ma honey,
Hello! ma ragtime pal,
Send me a kiss by wire,
Baby, my heart's on fire! And
If you refuse me,
Honey, you'll lose me,
Then you'll be left alone;
Oh baby, telephone
And tell me you're my own,
Hello! hello! hello!"
Got a little baby, but he's out of sight,
I talk to him across the telephone;
I've never seen ma honey, but he's mine, all right;
So take my tip, and leave this guy alone
And I'll sing
"Hello! ma Baby,
Hello! ma honey,
Hello! ma ragtime pal,
Oh, send me a kiss by wire,
Baby, my heart's on fire!
If you refuse me,
Honey, you'll lose me,
Then you'll be left alone;
Baby, telephone
And tell me you're my own,
Hello! hello! hello!
If you refuse me,
Honey, you'll lose me,
Then you'll be left alone;
Baby, telephone
And tell me you're my own,
Hello! hello! hello! Tell me you're my own

(Hello x4 there)
Hello my baby,
Hello my honey,
Hello my rag time gal,
Send me a kiss by wire,
Baby my hearts on fire,
And if you refuse me,
Honey you’ll lose me,
Then you’ll be left alone,
Oh baby, telephone,
And tell me you’re my own.
(Hello x4)
Got a little baby but he’s out of sight,
I talk to him across the telephone (telephone)
I never see my honey but he’s mine alright,
So take my tip and leave this guy alone,
And I’ll sing;
Hello my baby,
Hello my honey,
Hello my rag time gal,
Send me a kiss by wire,
Baby my hearts on fire,
If you refuse me,
Honey you’ll lose me,
Then you’ll be left alone,
Baby, telephone,
And tell me you’re my own.
(Hello x2)
If you refuse me,
Honey you’ll lose me,
Then you’ll be left alone,
Baby, telephone,
And tell me you’re my own.
(Hello x4)
Tell me you’re my own.

Lyrics:
Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the sky's and see
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head pulled my trigger now he's dead
Mama, life had just began
But now I've gone and thrown it all away..

0:57 the fact that they didn’t have voice tune or editing to make that possible, and they were able to synchronize their voice in that manner without any vocal editing is phenomenal. I love the Chordettes and I know they are spreading joy with their music in heaven <3 though the technique is quite basic, it quite amazing how well they perfected it through these years.
Edit:oh, thank you so much! I’ve never gotten this many likes before! Thank you so much <3
