==Career==
Originally, the group was called The Val-Airs.Their high school principal helped them make their first demo. Their first and only record as The Val-Airs was "Launie, My Love". first released by local record label Willett Records (owned by the group's manager, Elmer Willett), then distributed nationally on Coral Records. Soon after the song's release, the group adopted the name The Vogues, derived from Vogue Terrace, a popular teenage dance hall (which also housed Willett Records) in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, near the group's hometown. They soon signed a recording contract with a small Pittsburgh-based label, Co & Ce Records, run by Herb Cohen and Nick Cenci. The group broke nationally in 1965 with a cover of Petula Clark's "You're The One" that rose to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was followed the same year by "Five O'Clock World", which also reached No. 4. Two further singles, "Magic Town" and "The Land of Milk and Honey", did not reach the same heights, but still made Billboard's Top 40 in 1966. Source: Wikipedia
