The Fleetwoods hold a revered place in the golden era of vocal pop, famous for a distinctive, soft-spoken vocal blend that stood out against the louder rock 'n' roll of the period. Comprising Gary Troxel, Gretchen Christopher, and Barbara Ellis, they became the first group in Billboard chart history to score multiple number-one hits in a single calendar year.
Come Softly To Me: The Early Singles 1959-62 is a definitive 20-track vinyl compilation chronicling their peak commercial output. This comprehensive anthology features their twin crowning milestones - the legendary, self-penned debut "Come Softly To Me" and the timelessly melancholy "Mr. Blue" - both of which conquered the charts at number one.
Showcasing their serene harmonic perfection on further hits like "Tragedy" (No.10) and "Outside My Window" (No.28), this beautifully curated retrospective is an absolute must-have for vinyl collectors and vocal group purists.
