Thursday music corner: The Marvelettes were a 1960s girl-group formed of Michigan school friends, who attained chart-topping success in 1961 with their recording of Please Mr Postman. This was Tamla Motown's first Billboard Hot 100 number one single, and was famously covered by the Beatles two years later on their second album, With the Beatles. (The Carpenters also took it to number one in 1975).
The Marvelettes had 10 US pop chart top 40 singles from 1961 to 1968. Too Many Fish In The Sea was the Marvelettes' fourteenth single, and their most successful single release of 1964. It also appeared on their 1966 compilation The Marvelettes' Greatest Hits, which reached number four on the US R&B albums charts.
