The Marvelettes had Motown's first number one single 'Please Mr. Postman' in 1961. "Ill Keep On Holding On" and "You're my Remedy" were constantly requested tracks making the dance floor heave and although slower, just as popular was "Don't Mess With Bill" at the Twisted Wheel Allnighters.
Virtually all the tracks listed above were frequently played making the Marvelettes play list a must at Manchester's soul clubs and as a result they became one of the most regular Motown groups to be heard. The Marvelettes were definitely one of the best Motown girl groups with a terrific array of superb songs.
Wanda Young was found again by Ian Levine in 1989. She was a street bag lady and an alcoholic. They cleaned her up to record again and feature in the DVD 'The Strange World Of Northern Soul'. It seems a pity that Berry Gordy, who obviously owed something to his earlier artists like Wanda, could not help her in her years of need.
Since then she has got things together and has some strong opinions about fake artists taking her rightful royalties (see link below).
