The Marvelettes est un groupe de chanteuses américaines. On leur doit le premier « numéro 1 » de Motown avec la chanson sortie sur le label Tamla (54046) Please Mr. Postman en août 1961. Ce précédent ouvre la voie à des groupes vocaux féminins tels que Martha and the Vandellas et The Supremes. Découvertes en 1960 par Robert Bateman, les Marvelettes se composent de Gladys Horton, Wanda Young, Katherine Anderson, Juanita Cowart, Georgeanna Dobbins (Georgeanna Tillman). Juanita Cowart quitte le groupe après le premier disque et elles continuent comme un quartette jusqu'en 1962, quand Georgeanna Dobbins (Georgeanna Tillman) part à son tour pour devenir secrétaire chez Motown. Le succès du groupe décline à partir de 1962. Elles reviennent sur le devant de la scène en 1964 avec la chanson Too Many Fish in the Sea. En 1969 Gladys Horton quitte le groupe pour se marier : elle est remplacée par Anne Bogan, mais Wanda Young devient la nouvelle leader. Les Marvelettes ne suivent pas la compagnie à Los Angeles en 1971. (fr)
The Marvelettes were an American girl group that achieved popularity in the early to mid-1960s. They consisted of schoolmates Gladys Horton, Katherine Anderson, Georgeanna Tillman, Juanita Cowart (now Cowart Motley), and Georgia Dobbins, who was replaced by Wanda Young prior to the group signing their first deal. They were the first successful act of Motown Records after the Miracles and its first significantly successful female group after the release of the 1961 number-one single, "Please Mr. Postman", one of the first number-one singles recorded by an all-female vocal group and the first by a Motown recording act. Founded in 1960 while the group's founding members performed together at their glee club at Inkster High School in Inkster, Michigan, they signed to Motown's Tamla label in 1961. Some of the group's early hits were written by band members and some of Motown's rising singer-songwriters such as Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, who played drums on a majority of their early recordings. Despite their early successes, the group was eclipsed in popularity by groups like the Supremes, with whom they shared an intense rivalry. Nevertheless, they managed a major comeback in 1966 with "Don't Mess with Bill", along with several other hits. They struggled with problems of poor promotion from Motown, health issues and substance abuse with Cowart the first to leave in 1963, followed by Georgeanna Tillman in 1965, and Gladys Horton in 1967. The group ceased performing together in 1969 and, following the release of The Return of the Marvelettes in 1970, featuring only Wanda Rogers, disbanded for good, with both Rogers and Katherine Anderson leaving the music business. The group has received several honors including induction into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, as well as receiving the Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. In 2005, two of the group's most successful recordings, "Please Mr. Postman" and "Don't Mess with Bill" earned million-selling Gold singles from the RIAA. On August 17, 2013, in Cleveland, Ohio, at Cleveland State University, the Marvelettes were inducted into the first class of the Official Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame. (en)
The Marvelettes sono state un gruppo musicale femminile R&B e doo-wop statunitense, in attività negli anni sessanta. Furono il primo gruppo femminile di successo della Motown Records, prima dell'esplosione del fenomeno The Supremes. Le Marvelettes sono particolarmente celebri per il loro primo singolo Please Mr. Postman (di cui si ricorda la cover dei Beatles del 1963) che arrivò alla vetta sia della Billboard Hot 100 che della R&B Chart. Nel corso della loro carriera, durata in tutto nove anni dal 1960 al 1969, ebbero ben 19 singoli nella top 40. (it)

The Marvelettes (Марвеле́тс) — американская женская вокальная группа 1960-х годов, с песней «Please Mr. Postman» достигшая первого места в американском национальном чарте. Выпускалась на лейбле звукозаписи Motown. Хотя впоследствии группу затмили другие мотауновские гёрл-группы, — Supremes и Martha and the Vandellas, — именно The Marvelettes в конце лета 1961 года принесли своему молодому лейблу Motown/Tamla первый хит номер один в Billboard Hot 100 («Please Mr. Postman»; причём примечательно, что на ударных на этой записи играл сам в будущем знаменитый Марвин Гей), а в 1963 году песня «Locking Up My Heart» в их исполнении стала первой попаданием в чарты для тоже в будущем знаменитого авторского и продюсерского трио «Холланд — Дозье — Холланд», (ru)
