The Vogues, featuring lead singers Bill Burkette and Hugh Geyer, were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001. Their first hit, “You’re the One,” was released 40 years ago, but remains at the top of vocal groups from the oldies.
This headlining show is put on by the Kent Stage to generate revenue to continue the free concerts offered to citizens of Streetsboro and city residents.
