William W. Burkette III

The Vogues have been friends for many, many years. We first saw them on Thanksgiving way back when they sang on one the paddle wheel boats on the Three Rivers. We still see them often today and enjoy their company. One of the finest Oldies Groups on tour yet. Bill was a wonderful lead singer and truly kind man. I always enjoyed chatting with him after a show. We followed them one year on a short tour through a few PA towns and another year on a short tour of some towns in OH. Whenever we´d...

My first memory of Bill is listening to 'Turn Around, Look at Me' in the Summer of 1968. I subsequently heard all of their earlier hits and their newer ones, such as 'My Special Angel' and 'No, Not Much'. I didn't realize he had passed on until now. I loved the smoothness of their vocals. Sincere sympathy to the family. Christopher Barney- Franklin WI

RIP Bill. Thank you for years of your singing with The Vogues and the memorable music. Will always love it. Your voice was one of a kind. Iconic. Timeless. Prayers to you and your family.

Elaine and family,
I was looking online to get updates about The Vogues. I was shocked to see that Bill had passed. My dad (Gene) always spoke very highly of you and Bill. My thoughts and prays go out to you and your family. God Bless ~

I first saw the Vogues in Ohio in 1967 and they soon became my favorite group. I recently saw them in Frankenmuth Michigan and when talking to them after the show, found out that Bill was ill. I was going to find some way to wish him the best, but today while researching their website, I found that I was too late. I will forever regret that, for Bill and his Vogues have always been a big part of my life and musical memories. To his family, though, you do not know me, my sincere condolences....
