(February 2025) Episode 632 is THE MARVELETTES, one of the earliest successful Motown acts. “Please Mr. Postman” is their most popular song and representative of their early 1960s pop-oriented girl group sound. Their second phase commenced in 1967 as they shrunk to a trio and adopted a more soulful sound per the trends within Motown. Not among the top girl groups for me, but they had some enjoyable songs.
Favorite album: The Marvelettes (pink album)
Favorite song: The Day You Take One (You Have To Take The Other)
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: A greatest hits will do. I prefer the four albums in their second phase (1967-70)
