The Fleetwoods - “Mr. Blue”

I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I am in the shower songs just pop into my head.  Sometimes I know where they come from but most of the time I don’t.

The Fleetwoods formed in the late 1950’s after Gary Troxel and Gretchen Christopher started singing together while waiting for mom to pick them up from school.  They soon added Barbara Ellis to help fill out their sound.  Originally called Two Girls and a Guy, they changed their name to reflect their local telephone exchange.  They had a string of hits throughout the late 50’s and early 60’s but ultimately disbanded when Troxel was drafted into the army and the british invasion made their brand of melodic, harmony driven, pop less desirable
