As an expert in music history, I can provide you with information about the Chordettes, an American female vocal quartet that rose to fame in the 1950s. The group was known for their close harmonies and pop hits like "Mr. Sandman" and "Lollipop."

Regarding the current status of the group members, as of my last update in early 2021, all the original members of the Chordettes have passed away. The original lineup included Janet Ertel (Parks), Carol Buschmann, Dorothy Schwartz, and Lynn Evans. Over the years, there were changes in the group's membership, but the original members have all since died.

It's important to note that the Chordettes, like many vocal groups, went through various lineup changes over the decades. While the original members are no longer with us, there may still be performers who carry on the Chordettes' legacy under the same name.
