The Vogues are an American vocal group from Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania.
They are best known for their chart topping singles “Five O’Clock World”, “Magic Town”, and “Turn Around, Look at Me”.
The group, originally named the Val-Aires, formed in 1958 at Turtle Creek High School. After high school, several members
of the group joined the Army while others went to college. A few years later they decided to record again. They pitched in $100
apiece to record a demo tape. The band recorded vocals for a cover of the Petula Clark song "You're The One."
This was released on the bands own Blue Star label. With local airplay and sales they signed them to the Co & Ce label as the “Vogues” in 1965.
The single was distributed nationally. The song became a national hit reaching number four on the Billboard charts.
The original group made many TV appearances in the 1960s, including The Tonight Show and The Ed Sullivan Show.
In 2001 they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
