Sunday, November 17

Sunday on Soulsations, we highlight Motown with the sounds of the Marvelettes. As one of the girl group sensations of the 60s, the Marvelettes were the first Motown group to hit #1 on the U.S. pop charts with "Please Mr. Postman". They also sang the popular Smokey Robinson penned tune, "Don't Mess With Bill". Hear music from the Marvelettes on Soulsations, Sunday night at 6 p.m. on KMUW.

Here are the Marvelettes performing "Please Mr. Postman":
