Artist Bio:
The Marvelettes were an American girl group that achieved popularity in the early 1960s. They were formed in Inkster, Michigan, in 1960 and were signed to Motown's Tamla label. The group's original lineup consisted of Gladys Horton, Georgeanna Tillman, Wanda Young, Katherine Anderson, and Juanita Cowart.
Their biggest hit came in 1961 with the release of "Please Mr. Postman," which became the first Motown song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Marvelettes continued to release successful singles throughout the 1960s, including "Playboy," "Beechwood 4-5789," and "Don't Mess with Bill." Despite changes in the group's lineup over the years, The Marvelettes remained active until the early 1970s. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004.
