The Chordettes were an American female vocal quartet, specializing in traditional pop music.

After performing locally in Sheboygan, they won on Arthur Godfrey's radio program Talent Scouts in 1949.

[1] In 1953, Godfrey's music director and orchestra leader, Archie Bleyer, founded Cadence Records.

[citation needed] Beginning in January 1954, the group sang on the Robert Q. Lewis Show, a weekday afternoon program on CBS-TV.

The US single "In The Deep Blue Sea" was a one-week Music Vendor entry four months later (number 128).

The Chordettes appeared on American Bandstand on August 5, 1957, the first episode of that show to be broadcast nationally on the ABC Television Network.
