The voice of Marjorie Needham Latzko, a member of DePauw University's Class of 1952, continues to echo whenever the song Mr. Sandman, a #1 hit in 1954 for The Chordettes, is played. Latzko joined the group in 1953. The Chordettes were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001.
Their biggest hit was "Mr. Sandman" in 1954. They also hit No. 2 with 1958's "Lollipop" and also charted with a vocal version of the themes from Disney's Zorro (U.S. #17) (1959) and the film Never on Sunday (U.S. #13) (1961). Other hits for the girls included "Eddie My Love" (U.S. #14), "Born to Be With You" (U.S. #5), "Lay Down Your Arms" in 1956, and "Just Between You and Me" (U.S. #8) in 1957. Their cover of "The White Rose Of Athens" hit the Australian Top 15 in May, 1962.
