Remembering Gladys Horton of the Marvelettes

7:50 AM  , , , , , , ,  No comments


We received word that Gladys Horton, co-founder of the Marvelettes died late Wed. evening of complications from a series of strokes. She was 66.

Gladys was only 15 when she founded The Casinyets with Georgia Dobbins and added Katherine Anderson, Juanita Cowart, and Georgeanna Tilliman. Wanda Young replaced Dobbins (due to her minister father being again them playing in clubs), and soon released, "Please Mr. Postman"

We honor her this morning by playing two of the biggest hits: "Please Mr. Postman" (#1 Sept. 61) and "Don't Mess With Bill" (#7 Jan. 66).
