Gretchen's SWEET SIXTEEN!
(SUITE 16) CD
(Sound
Clips, Information &
Order Form
below)
After 11 Billboard hit singles and 15 albums as The Fleetwoods'
lead female vocalist, arranger and BMI Million Airs Songwriter,
Gretchen Christopher has now written, produced and released
her first SOLO CD, Gretchen's SWEET SIXTEEN! (SUITE 16).-
one of the 2007 Billboard Critics' Picks for 10 BEST ALBUMS of
the year!
The concept album tells their story
(of First Love
revisited) with
16 sweet,
soulful, insightful, songs (including new recordings of #1 Hit "Come
Softly To Me"
and "Graduations Here"
- and the haunting "Blues Go Away")
When Gretchen was 16 and "he" was 18 (the
older man in her life),
they met and fell in love for the very first time.
Two years later, she left to pursue her dreams.
Achieving story book success, first solo then as The Fleetwoods,
yet finding loneliness at the top, she poured out her feelings
in writing songs,
reflecting love, loss, searching for self and a new
attitude.
Now, after nearly four decades apart, she and her first love are
together again!
And Gretchen's sweet 16, again (born February 29th! :o)
It is the stuff of dreams, a movie musical or Broadway show.
(What if we could meet our first love again?)
A true story, celebrated in Gretchen's SWEET SIXTEEN!

"Good As
Gold" - The Artist and Her Music
Gretchen's
SWEET SIXTEEN (SUITE 16) -
A Billboard Critic's Pick for 10 BEST ALBUMS of 2007
Creates a
Rare Rapport with Audiences:
"She wraps her
warm voice around you and leads you down a goose pimple path."
Legendary Jazz Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, "You sing like an angel."
Grammy Award Winner Linda Ronstadt, "I love your music!"
Billboard Critic Fred
Bronson, "A stunning suite of 16 songs."
Gretchen's music has the quality of standards. Her autobiographical lyrics
and memorable melodies express themselves softly, profoundly; documenting
feelings and experiences from teen years through love, loss, laughter and life
thereafter.
She provides the soundtrack of our lives,
from the 1959 Million-Seller, (Gold #1
Record and Best Selling Sheet Music
"COME SOFTLY TO ME" ('n doo be doo, Dom dom)
and Top 40 Hit "GRADUATION'S HERE" (both of which she co-wrote and originally
sang lead on, with The Fleetwoods) to the inspiring and soul-bared lyrics,
dynamic and haunting tunes she's writing today, worthy of Broadway.
