Editorial Reviews

Forty-one songs, featuring most of both the A-sides and B-sides, nine of which had never been issued on album before. The ace Motown songwriting and production stable was involved in virtually every one of these tracks, making for a surprisingly strong and consistent collection. Includes all the chart hits, as well as rarities like the Phil Spector-style single they released in 1963 as the Darnells. -All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars MARVELETTES DELIVERED! ~ BRAVO GREAT LADIES!!!, August 7, 2007

This review is from: Deliver: The Singles 1961 - 1971 (Audio CD)
The Marvelettes were the first wildly successful "Girl Group" to put Motown Records on the map in the early sixties with the huge #1 mega-hit "Please Mr. Postman"...they went on to become a unique Legendary Group who recorded a brilliant eclectic mix of great songs throughout the wondrous musical sixties making them a groundbreaking original classic group that stands as one of the all time greatest! Blessed with two awesome lead singers being the fiery Gladys Horton and the sultry Wanda Young (Rogers), this collection covers the many hightlights such as the top ten memorable "Beechwood 4.5789", smoldering soulful delights like "You're My Remedy", "I'll Keep On Holding On" & "Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead, to rocking rhythmic classics like "Too Many Fish In The Sea". The Marvelettes Wanda Rogers created totally hypnotic vocals and great examples are classic songs such as "Don't Mess With Bill", "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game" and the timeless masterpiece "When You're Young And In Love" which still appears in tv tracks and motion picture scores! Anyone who loves the Legendary Girl Groups and just plain great singing will find hours of joy in this masterful collection...thank you to the Marvelous Marvelettes who earned this title from producing this brilliant musical treasure!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is why they were "marvelous", May 6, 2005
This review is from: Deliver: The Singles 1961 - 1971 (Audio CD)
There are many compilations of their music but this double-cd is the best of the bunch because it features most of their B-sides, some of which were previously unavailable. This collection underscores the shame it has been that the Marvelettes have never received the recognition they deserve for being not just Motown's first successful girl-group, but the quintessential representation of the genre.
