About The Vogues
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
The Vogues developed from a group of school friends in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania: Bill Burkette, Don Miller, Hugh Geyer and Chuck Blasko. Originally called the Val-Aires, they recorded for Co & Ce before moving to Reprise. Their vocal-harmony catalog includes You're the One and Five O'Clock World, followed by the smoother arrangements of Turn Around, Look at Me and My Special Angel. Later touring lineups continued the group's repertoire beyond its initial chart period.
