many songs in the 60's were about missing a boyfriend that you haven't seen in a long time, which fits right into its time because these songs were intended to comfort women who were missing their military boyfriends while they were at vietnam
No one probably will believe me but my granny is one of the Marvelettes. I didn’t know know about it till she told me. She’s still alive and she was born 1943 idk much about the Marvelettes but apparently the group of singers kept declining. Edit: yall this is me 3 years later. I think 13 year old me was getting lied to💔my granny even use to point at the disk case and show me her. But I asked my mama and she told me she was lying🙄😔. Welp, idk what I was expecting. She also told me she had a monkey named Mr.Jackson soooo. Edit: Hey I'm almost 17 now and y'all she was definitely lying
So, I heard this song as a little girl, when my nan would take me up to the coast to see my great nan, I would always want to hear this song on the way up to the coast. Skip to quite a few years later until now. I just recently turned 14 a few days ago, and I still listen to this song. This song has also introduced me to many, many, other wonderful songs, and I'm quite paranoid to be honest, because I always think I'm the only 14 year old in 2020 to listen to this type of music..
The fact that u listen to this type of music...let me tell u...music now a day is pure garbage..GARBAGE. Not only u...my daughter she listens to this type of music and even way older type of music...lets just say classic and renaissance music and even classical music from around the world. Music was and has always been part of me...as a baby too....and before i was even born...my daughter...the same...but real real music..not garbage u know. U rock sweetie. Keep listening to oldies and other artists like other genres....trust me theirs so much out there.
A guy I know was working construction at the Motown studio when this was being recorded. He said it was Marvin Gaye who hit echo for "dee-liv-ah dee-lett-ah dee-soon-ahh dee-bett-ahh."
I heard about this and it ruined my mind Imagine this: Their love ones was probably in a war or something and they’ve been waiting for a letter but it never came sooo i think thats whats the song is all about Sorry for ruining a happy song
I thought that was the original meaning of the song... At least that's how I interpreted it. Even if it's not about war, I wouldn't really say this is a happy song though :)
When The Marvelettes auditioned for Motown, the label asked them to bring in material. Georgia Dobbins asked her songwriter friend William Garrett if he had anything for them to sing. He penned “Please Mr. Postman”, but as a blues piece. Dobbins rewrote it entirely, saving only the catchy title, and taught it to lead vocalist Gladys Horton. Motown producers Robert Bateman and Brian Holland worked with the group and crafted a smash. The Marvelettes were five teenagers from Inkster, Michigan. This was their first single and their only #1, as well as Motown Records’ first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100❕ Mail-related storylines were quite common in music of that era. Wasn’t “Return To Sender” a knockout for Elvis Presley in 1962❔ The day they taped “Please Mr. Postman”, it was the first time the quintet had ever been in a recording studio. Fortunately, they got help from Florence Ballard, member of The Supremes❕ Ballard suggested they loosen up, stretch out the word “postman”, and add “oh yeah” backing vocals. “We were all tight - petrified,” Gladys Horton claimed. “Florence was a sweetheart, and what she said was dead on.” Worth mentioning : the one and only Marvin Gaye played drum on the original “Please Mr. Postman”❕ COMPLIMENTS TO YOU, MOTOWN LADIES‼️ 💚📫 💛📬 💜
this song is already making me cry and nothing even happened to me. Probably because my dad left me and my older brother at an extremely young age. And my brother tells me he doesn’t love us anymore.
What happened to the good old days when we had no internet connection and we just would just right her a love letter and we had soda for a dime and we had dinner with a juckbox.

I came for Captain Marvel
I stayed for the song
Favorite song
takyla your granny and the marvelettes were one of a kind!
In those simpler times we never heard the word "email."
But teletypewriters weren't used by the average person, and they weren't called "emails."
Edward Branca.
ok boomer
@Fee Lynn Teletypewriters were also used by the wire services to sent news stories to their member newspapers.

I heard it off of captain marvel sing it nick fury
Back then we assumed that we'd always using the post office to correspond.
That's pretty great. Nowadays all of us use technology so much. But I guess what cannot be cured must be endured!
What happened to the good old days when we had no internet connection and we just would just right her a love letter and we had soda for a dime and we had dinner with a juckbox.
