I'm not sure which rates as their most remembered song but both Lollipop and Mr. Sandman are classics. She's the second from the right I believe.

She's second from the left. Dick Clark calls them all by their names during the interview segment about three minutes in.

Note that Clark playfully addresses Janet Ertel (far right) as "Mrs. Bleyer." She was married to Archie Bleyer, head of Cadence Records.

for an apartment complex and it has a picture of golden lab on it. It's
never changed in all this time. I spend a lot of my drive time speculating
about how many generations of that dog's descendants have died. The
problem is, I don't know how many years the billboard was up before I
first saw it.
