They are etched into the memories of music fans worldwide and helped form part of the foundation of contemporary popular music. What these songs have in common is that they are all the product of a veritable hit-making machine better known to their millions of fans as The Drifters.

THE ORIGINAL MARVELETTES occupied an esteemed place in the history of American popular music as the group that caused Motown, and most notably Berry Gordy to change the label's focus from single bluesy soul artists to a smooth orchestrated harmonic sound that transcended the prior racial limits of rhythm and blues. With their first record, "Please, Mr. Postman" hitting the top spot on the charts and selling 3 million records in a crossover market Motown was to concentrate on the Marvelettes, Supremes, Temptations, Four tops, and Martha and the Vandellas and create a new group pop soul sound that totally dominated the music charts until the advent of the Beatles 4 years later. there for more than 30 years.
