The harmonious voices of The Lettermen first hit the music charts in 1961 with the megahit, The Way You Look Tonight.
\nThe soft, romantic ballad shot to No. 13 on the Billboard chart. The group’s second single that year did even better. When I Fall in Love hit No. 7, establishing the trio as the most romantic singing group of the 1960s and they became one of the top college concert attractions of the decade.
\nThe Lettermen have been recording and performing continuously for over Fifty years and will be appearing at 8 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, October 7 through 18 at The Andy Williams Moon River Theatre.

\nThe trio has produced more than 70 albums eighteen certified gold worldwide, four of them being The Lettermen…And Live (1967), Goin’ Out of My Head (1968), Best of the Lettermen (1969) and Hurt So Bad (1970).
