Godfrey offered the Chordettes a permanent spot on the show and they were signed to Columbia Records, for whom they recorded a series of 10-inch EPs. In 1953 the group left Godfrey and signed to Cadence Records, operated by Godfrey’s musical director, Archie Bleyer (Ertel married Bleyer in 1954). Their first recording for Cadence, ‘Mr. Sandman’, in 1954, became a million-seller, logging seven weeks at number 1 in the US charts. It featured Lynn Evans, who had replaced Schwartz, as lead singer, and Margie Needham, who had replaced Lockard. The Chordettes remained with Cadence until the early 60s, gaining three other Top 10 hits: ‘Born To Be With You’ (1956), ‘Just Between You And Me’ (1957) and ‘Lollipop’ (1958). The group disbanded in the mid-60s.
