If you love great pop songs then you'll appreciate "Tragedy" by The Fleetwoods

In the late 1950's, Gary Troxel, Gretchen Christopher and Barbara Ellis were high school teenagers in Olympia, Washington, or the upper northwest corner of the US.

Like so many teens of their generation, they loved the "doo woop" melodies of all of those East Coast groups.

They started singing at school functions and eventually became The Fleetwoods.  They sang beautifully and had hits like "Mr Blue","Come softly to me" and more hits!

My favorite is "Tragedy", a wonderful song from 1961.  It is still one of my favorite pop "oldies". 

I love The Fleetwoods because their arrangements, melodies and harmonies were just wonderful.
