I want to thank you for putting this up. The Chordettes were just a little before my time as I got into R&R in the 60's but I am very familiar with their songs and beautiful harmonies. I really enjoyed listening to Ms. Buschmann and learning some more about the group. It's interviews like this that make these people come alive and not just some publicity recording or wikipedia entry. I admit, I found your interviewing a little irritating but then I realized this is real and so are you. Thanks!
your talking to someone from one of the first famed female singing groups. I would have been a little more blown away, and I'm sure many people there didn't know who she was.
She's thinking, "This clueless faggot interviewing me doesn't give a rat's ass about The Chordettes, and I sure wish he'd stop referring to us as 'you guys.'"
She's still so pretty, and so sharp. Hope that she knows how many folks still love "Mr. Sandman," "Lollipop," and numerous other Chordettes' hits. Cheers!
The interview itself wasn't rude, I think you asked some good questions, but your voice does sound a bit like you weren't interested. I am impressed, though, by how calm you stayed, because I would have been freaking out! She's such an awesome lady, and The Chordettes were amazing (still are).
I didn't find the interviewer rude at all. I thought he was very polite. I'm 59 years of age. I found him very polite and mature and he asked good questions.
I like this interviewer. A serious interviewer. When he asked about the the group, she said," we started as a barbershop quartet 1947 and other questions and he received some very good information." Attention: RockTheHouse4, you are a very smart,good,and polite,interviewer.
Ha, I love the distinction this wonderful old lady makes when asked when she started in the "band." "It's NOT a band, it's a singing group." Lol. Today nobody would even make that distinction because nobody knows what music is. They call people "artists" or "entertainers" instead of musicians now that lip synching is ubiquitous. *sigh*
Great interview ! There were 7 different women in and out of the Chordettes and the unique thing about Carol Buschman is that she was with the group when it originated all the way to the early 1960s when the group disbanded. I am glad to see she is doing well--I think maybe Carol and Lynn Evans are the only two Chordettes still alive.
Great music and a fantastic group....thanks again for taking advantage of this opportunity to meet and hear from one of the original Chordettes !
Carol is indicative of this quartet's grace and dignity. My father and I were privileged to sing with, and know very well, the original Tenor of the group, Jinny Cole (Janis) for about the last 20 years of her life. She past away a few years ago and is sorely missed by thousands of barbershoppers. Great post and a big "hello" to Carol and the rest of the Chordettes from your fans!
only carol buschmann and lynn something are the only 2 members alive from the chordettes. if u see the video picutre on related videos. the 2nd person is carol buschmann and the last one to the right is lynn something. both are the ones who are still in earth and here to this day to talk about and enjoy life.
Clayton, you got to touch a piece of history. I was in grade school and high school when they were recording. Everyone loved their music. The more you learn about the Chordettes and the music of that era the more you'll appreciate how fortunate you were to talk to Carol.
Dude...next time you interview a person, like this woman, sound interested and not so bored. Also, make sure we can hear the person who is being interviewed a little louder than you.
Tell Carol to acknowledge Ronald & Ruby who originally wrote & sung the song. Unfortunately, once folks found out they were an interracial group, they were pushed out of the market.
Wow! Why are Mid-Westerners always the nicest people? I'm usually not the envious type, but I want to see a Chordette at a wedding!! I would want to talk to her for hours. Does anyone know which one she is, perhaps in the picture on the "Born to be with you" album? Thanks.
Wow, thats awesome...I mean...she is old...but....she is still a star :-) WOWI...and she looks great! I love the Chordettes....best wishes from germany :-)
I just want you to know that this video is awesome and its unfortunate that it'll never be as popular as it should be. You did a great interview!!! And those who really know what good music actually is, will appreciate this video so much.
thank you for this.. It was really informative and great!
Random question, but when is her birthday? LOL
