The Vogues

In 1960, four high school friends from Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania—lead baritone Bill Burkette, baritone Don Miller, first tenor Hugh Geyer, and second tenor Chuck Blasko—launched the vocal ensemble initially called the Val-Aires. The quartet later adopted the name the Vogues and secured a recording contract with the modest Co & Ce imprint. Their autumn 1965 single "You're the One" advanced to the number four position, while the group’s signature classic "Five O'Clock World" joined it inside the Top Five before the year closed. Two further Top 40 singles, "Magic Town" and "The Land of Milk and Honey," appeared in 1966. When the act returned in 1968 with the Top Ten hit "Turn Around, Look at Me," they had moved to the larger Reprise label; that track remained their only million-seller and introduced the lighter, more polished style heard on the follow-ups "My Special Angel," "Till," and "No, Not Much." Although no additional chart entries materialized after 1970, various lineups of the Vogues kept performing on oldies circuits for decades afterward.
