THE FLEETWOODS- " MR. BLUE " (W/ LYRICS)


THIS WAS THE FLEETWOODS SECOND # 1 SONG IN 1959. LYRICS: Our guardian star lost all his glow The day that I lost you He lost all his glitter the day you said, no And his silver turned to blue Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true But if you decide to call on me Ask for Mr. Blue I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh) When you say you love me (ah, Mr. Blue) Then prove it by goin' out on the sly Provin' your love isn't true Call me Mr. Blue I'm Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh) When you say you're sorry (ah, Mr. Blue) Then turn around, headin' for the lights of town Hurtin' me through and through Call me Mr. Blue I stay at home at night (I stay at home) Right by the phone at night (right by the phone) But you won't call And II won't hu-urt my pride (call me Mr) I won't tell you (wah-a-wah-ooh) While you paint the town (ah, Mr. Blue) A bright red to turn it upside down I'm paintin' it too But I'm paintin' it blue Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh) Call me Mr. Blue (wah-a-wah-ooh) Call me Mr. Blue

The Fleetwoods - Come Softly To Me (Stereo Remix)


The Fleetwoods started out as a female duo from Olympia, Washington consisting of Gretchen Christopher and Barbara Ellis. They added one of their male high school classmates, Gary Troxel, with the original intent of using him as a trumpet player, but when Gary created the opening "do be do" hook for "Come To Me Softly", it was obvious he would become part of the vocal harmonization. "Come To Me Softly" was the #1 song in the nation for all of March, 1959 and one of the all-time great pop hits in recording history.

In 1959 3 young vocalists burst onto the scene with two nbr 1 hit singles. Their name was The Fleetwoods and they produced Come softly to me and Mr Blue, two of the loveliest songs ever recorded. This is me slowing it down with my own version of the beautiful Mr Blue. I have to say that this is a personal favourite of mine and was a pleasure to perform. Enjoy.
