The Marvelettes, along with The Supremes and Martha Reeves and The Vandellas formed the triad of the great Motown "girl groups". Their best songs include: "Beachwood 4-5789", "Don't Mess With Bill", "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game", "Too Many Fish In The Sea", "Playboy".

The one female Motown group I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to yet is Martha & the Vandellas. They were the Supremes main competition, and they had some serious bangers including Jimmy Mack, Nowhere To Run, Heatwave, and Dancing In The Street.

The Beatles loved this and covered it. Also: check out, Little Eva, “Locomotion” also The Shirelles, hit record “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” written by Carol King. And The Shirelles also had a hit with “Baby It’s You” written by Burt Bacharach, and covered by big fans, The Beatles. The Shirelles also had a hit with “Boys” written by Luther Dixon, it was also covered by The Beatles and sung by the greatest, Ringo Starr on their 1963 album, “Please Please Me”.

"Shop Around" was a huge hit and the first Motown million seller (in 1960). But it only peaked at #2 Pop on Billboard. It was also #1 R&B. (It did reach #1 on the less prestigious Cashbox chart.) The cover by The Captain & Tennille in 1976 was a big hit too. Meanwhile, "Please Mr. Postman" has always been considered the first #1 Pop (Hot 100 via Billboard) hit for Motown.

Hi Amber. Here is a suggestion for you whenever you have one of your female Fridays. There was another girl group who also came out of the 60s. idk if you are familiar with these girls but they were called The Ikettes. They were a trio (sometimes quartet) of female backing vocalists for the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Despite their origins, the Ikettes became successful artists in their own right. In the 1960s they had hits such as "I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)" and "Peaches 'N' Cream". I always luv your guys' reactions. Maybe that is one of the reasons I became a subscriber.

Motown's girl groups contributed so much to the music of the 50s and 60s. You might think that you and your preferences have grown and moved on but when you hear one of those oldies you tap your foot and smile through the whole song. The great stuff never loses its appeal. Rock on chil'un ! 😊

There was a great Girl Group with the Motown sound called The Dixie Cups. They were from New Orleans and their big 1964 hit was “Chapel of Love”.

In the 80s I lived in a small town. A lot of things I wanted were just a 5 hour drive away at the nearest big city. Ordering stuff to come in the mail, "Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery." So if you did order something from a catalog you had forgotten what you ordered by the time it arrived. Of course that made getting it more fun on the day it came.

Yep, Amber..Motown's 2nd number 1 Billboard hit, and the girls contributed lots of background vocals for all the other label acts, too. Back then everything was recorded on 4-track tape, such a natural, live sound that today's music has lost due to over-production and no real instruments. I highly suggest u make your next Motown song The Temptations 1969 studio version of "Ball Of Confusion", Psychedelic soul/funk to the max with lyrics still relevant today!!

The Marvelettes were Great. Please listen to more of their music like: Don't Mess With Bill, My Baby Must Be A Magician, The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game. Also another girl group that was very popular was Martha and The Vandellas. Some of their songs were My Baby Loves Me, Come And Get These Memories, What Am I Going To Do Without Your Love. All these songs are Great and you guys will enjoy them!
