The Marvelettes are a fake group. There are no original members in this group. Gladys Horton (Please Mr Postman) had to retire from performing last year because this fake group is getting all the bookings. Wanda Rogers (Don't Mess With Bill) is no longer in the business as well due to personal reasons. Katherine Anderson has no desire to perform any longer. She hasn't performed since the 70s.

WOW!!!!

Psssssssst.....to the WHOOOPIE person.....Elvis is dead. I think I will spend my whole weekend down there. But choosing which stage will be the hard part. I love all music and there is something for everyone but more than that great performers! Good job!
