Dixie_Cups_Show.JPGPleiku seriesThe "Dixie Cups" Show: Famous for their hit song "Going To The Chapel". The one USO show I did get to see. Was at the NCO Training school at Enari and missed the Bob Hope Show.
{Webmaster's Note: The Dixie Cups were three students at the University of New Orleans in the 1960s. They recorded the song and made it big with that one number.}
