The girl groups of the sixties had so much style and the Marvelettes, one of the great groups of Motown, not only made great soul records (”Here I Am Baby,” “Don’t Mess With Bill,”" Please Mr. Postman,” etc.) they always looked cool. This best of compilation is from Holland.

That was possibly the only halfway decent women’s fashion in the 60s-the mini ballgown. Because when seated it actually LOOKED longer and that was the trouble with minis-they looked bloody comical
And finally Tamla Motown is no longer ashamed of showing photos of its artists on the sleeves- the first Marvelettes LP showed a drawing of a post box in what could be considered more racist than ever nowadays-the same as the derogatory term “colored groups”-you weren’t supposed to say black
