Cousin Brucie speaks with Barbara Hawkins of The Dixie Cups, exploring the group's serendipitous origins and their rise to stardom. Hawkins reveals that the trio began as a family affair, only discovering through their grandmother that their third member was actually a biological cousin. The conversation highlights their professional evolution from a local talent show to signing with Leiber and Stoller, where they famously reimagined the hit "Chapel of Love" by infusing it with their own creative flair.
