Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Lettermen formed in Los Angeles in 1958 with Tony Butala, Bob Engemann, and Norman Foley. They signed with Capitol Records in 1960 and had early success with songs like 'The Way You Look Tonight.' Their sound was built around rich vocal harmonies, with Butala's lead voice at the center.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, they released several hits including 'Goin' Out of My Head' and 'Love Me Like a Stranger.' The group saw lineup changes over time, with Donovan Tea replacing Engemann in 1969 and Foley departing in 1974. They continued performing on the nostalgia circuit in later decades.
Their catalog includes songs like 'Hurt So Bad' and 'Come Back Silly Girl,' and they reunited for concerts in the 2000s with Butala, Tea, and Foley. The Lettermen recorded over 40 studio albums across their career.
