About The Marvelettes

The Marvelettes were an American girl group formed in 1960 in Inkster, Michigan. They are best known for their hit single 'Please Mr. Postman,' which became Motown's first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The group was initially composed of Gladys Horton, Katherine Anderson, Georgeanna Tillman, Juanita Cowart, and Georgia Dobbins.

The Marvelettes' music often delved into themes of longing for true love, emotional and physical separation, and the anticipation of written communication. Their songs resonated with listeners who experienced the highs and lows of young love, capturing the emotional intensity of waiting for letters from loved ones and the heartache of being apart.
