The Fleetwoods were an American doo-wop group formed in Olympia, Washington in 1958. Composed of Gretchen Christopher, Barbara Ellis, and Gary Troxel, their harmonic blend of male and female vocals became a signature sound. They are notable for their two chart-topping hits, "Come Softly to Me" and "Mr. Blue," which established them as a significant force in the transition from doo-wop to the softer sounds of early 60s pop. They are remembered for their unique contribution to the evolution of pop music in the United States.
