Bonus Holiday Episode (w/Gretchen Christopher)

The Fleetwoods founder presents a new song

For this second holiday 2020 bonus episode, Low Profile brings you a high-profile artist. She has won multiple gold records and is in the Vocal Group Hall of fame. Her name is Gretchen Christopher, and she is one of the founders of 1950s-1960s pop sensations the Fleetwoods, who began their career here in Olympia, Washington. She will be featured in an upcoming episode about the Fleetwoods next season, but today I’m presenting our conversation about her newest single, “Christmas Is You,” which she is sharing here after nearly 40 years in the making. Gretchen tells the story behind the song, along with the story of how we met, just in time for the holiday season.
