    THE MARVELOUS MARVELETTES
    Written by Reginald Williams
    Directed by Rueben Echoles
    Running through September 7, 2014
    Many people think that the most famous girl group to come out of Motown was The Supremes, but history says differently. It was five young teenagers from Inkster, Michigan who helped to propel Motown into national stardom and gave them their first "million-seller." The name of this dynamic group was The Marvelettes and their voices helped launch the company to prominence. Their name might not be as familiar as some of the other Motown legends, but the songs they made famous like "Don't Mess with Bill," "Hunter Gets Captured by the Game," "My Baby Must be a Magician," "Beechwood 45789," and "Please Mr. Postman" will guarantee their place in our musical memories forever. We're going to take you back to a dynamic era in history where the voices were more than just supreme -- they were absolutely marvelous.

    She's incorporating today's style of singing (ala Beyonce) which is riffing or vibrato on every note into an early 1960's song. If this was a remake or a tribute to the Marvelettes that's different. This isn't to say that some singers didn't use a little too much vibrato back then but since they're supposed to be"The Marvelletes, then sing the song right! She has a fantastic voice but don't "riff" on almost every other word.

    This song was Motown's first #1 hit, and Marvin Gaye played drums on it. It had a lot of soul, and a funky beat. And, the Marvelettes acted like proud ladies. Sorry, but this cover sounds limp, and the girls look like clowns overperforming. :(

    • @michaelholland1921
      @michaelholland1921 Před 9 lety +1

      ...far from the Beatles ripping off black music, they did the reverse. By recording it fairly true to the originals they re-presented it to white youth in the USA and popularized black music in a larger audience, which in turn led to the welcome growth of Tamla Motown. I'm not sure that you appreciate how popular black music was in the huge seaport of Liverpool during the 1960's, to accuse the Beatles of being rip-off merchants.

      I think there were four that recorded it. Georgia, who rewrote the song, had left by the time it was recorded, if I'm not mistaken. I think the lead singer was just 15 when she first got the group together. Regardless, they were awesome!

Wrong gesture ending Please Mr Postman with a ✋Stop! in the of Love Gesture! The Marvelettes Never ended any of their songs with a Stop gesture. Only the Supremes and Diana Ross who usually has her arms over her head out stretched.
