Show Dates are Subject to ChangeSHOW DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGEThe dictionary defines harmony as a combination of musical sounds considered to be pleasing. The music world could define harmony at The Lettermen.Donavon Tea, Bobby Poynton and Rob Gulack, each of whom are entertainers in their own right, have kept the meaning of harmony alive with their soft, romantic, harmonic blend of music which is as popular with their fans today as it was in 1961 when The Lettermen recorded their first hit, The Way You Look Tonight.For The Lettermen debut single record in the summer of 1961, Capitol Records decided to put a romantic ballad on the B-side of Thats My Desire, which was an ateempt at a doo-wop single, figuring readio stations would have to play the A-side because the B-side was so sweet, and slow, and did not necessarily encompass the commercial sound of the day. The B-side was The Way You Look Tonight. Soft, melodic and romantic, it was a departure from the rock n roll music of the day. Eventually, listener requests made it a must for radio station play lists nationwide. The song shot to No. 13, on the Billboard chart. The groups second single that year did even better. When I Fall In Love, another soft, slow ballad hit No. 7, establishing The Lettermen as the most romantic singing group of a generation.To their credit, The Lettermen have over 75 albums - numerous certified gold - and a myriad of hits including When I Fall In Love, Come Back Silly Girl, Theme From A Summer Place, Going Out Of My Head/Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Hurt So Bad, and Shangri-La.The Lettermen have also enjoed international success touring Japan, The Philippines, China, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Germany, France, South America, Canada, MExico and even Saudi Arabia.They have sung and recorded in many different languages and have received eighteen gold records internationally. Even though that have been personnel changes over the years, the one thing that has remained constant is the cision that Tony Butala first dreamed of - that unique three-part harmony as only The Lettermen can achieve. Though musical tastes have changed over the years, The Lettermen legacy continures. Harmony will always endure the true test of time - just as The Lettermen have stoof the test of time.
