Trouble is, she doesn't sing on this one...

Lead vocalist here is Wanda Young Rogers, backed by the Andantes.

Gladys Horton's last A side with the Marvelettes was 'Too Many Fish In The Sea'.

Wonderful, unique voice, though. Shame it;'s now stilled forever....

what aloss.another sad loss. rip.

Gladys and her Marvellous Marvelletes, absolutely brilliant. And those key changes were their trademark at Motown.

R.I.P. Gladys, we will miss you.

RIP Gladys.

That's also Wanda Young Rogers singing with the Andantes. As with '...Magician' Gladys was not even in the studio when this track was recorded.

Please, if you've going to post a tune up in tribute, at least have courtesy to check who the lead vocalist is.

Here, looking great and miming to her final Marvelettes A side, is Gladys Horton:

My mistake Tony, so apologies. So my favourite 2 records by the Marvelettes both turned out not to feature Gladys Horton but I still wish her the best.

Note to self: must research better before I post...........

You are right Tony, though Wanda was the voice of the Marvelettes as we come to know them (never better in my opinion then on their far superior version of "I Want A Guy" which for me will always mark out the girls in front of the supremes) Gladys WAS The Marvelettes. It is sad to see her passing away. The Marvelettes will always be for me, Motown's PREMIER girl group.

First record I bought by the girls was Holland Dozier Holland's "Locking Up My Heart" not my fav now, but still love the trade off lead vocals between Gladys and Wanda

so here is both of them!

marvelettes - locking up my heart - tamla

much respect to that little girl from Inkster, a major stamp on my birth to the music I love.
