Your Favorite Lineup

[Kay]

I've only started getting into the Marvels within the last few 8 months or so and with lineup two I'm not really 100% sure of who sang on the songs. Was Georgianna still recording with them for a while after she left??

According to their biography, both Georgeanna and Juanita were on records released after they stopped touring, briefly.

Thanks. Does the biography happen to say exactly what Georgianna and Juanita's last songs were by any chance??

Can't remember but I will pull it out and see what I can find

Here is what I could find-

"Wyanetta ended her career as a performer in the late spring of 1962, although she did continue to record as a Marvelette until the beginning of 1963.

Wyanetta's name was professionally, Juanita. The album with her last recordings is The Marvelous Marvelettes, released in February of 1963.

"Shortly, after the run of 'Too Many Fish In The Sea,' Georgeanna was forced to step down."

Since the Marvelettes hadn't had a studio album released until March of 1967, The Marvelettes, her last recording appears to have been, 'A Need For Love', released as the flip of "Too Many Fish In The Sea". She also recorded on the Marvelettes on Stage, Recorded Live, released in July of 1963.

Both Juanita and Georgeanna had previously recorded on some of the songs
included on Greatest Hits released in February of 1966.
Juanita did not record on "As Long As I Know He's Mine", "You're My Remedy" and "Too Many Fish In The Sea" which were later single-only releases until this album. And niether she, nor Georgeanna recorded on " Danger, Heartbreak Dead Ahead" and "Don't Mess With Bill" both recorded as single-only apparently further into 1965.

It's a little invlolved, their history, we'll dig into more

Has anyone else read their excellent biography

Thanks alot! I haven't heard the song A Need For Love but I've heard all the others. They really were a great group and sorta remind me of the Temptations in the sense that they had more than one lead singer :justlisten:

Yes they do, Kay

Both Gladys and Wanda sang on their hits and best known songs, similar to Paul, Eddie and David.
And these girls had some moves, let me tell you :adance:

I believe I have "A Need For Love", will check and try and post for you and anyone else interested :smug:
