12/28/2023 0 Comments Lil wayne mr postman albumREMEMBER Deletion from the R&R HOF pretty much means DELETION FROM HISTORY. This is not the FIRST time that original or important members have been unceremoniously CUT OUT OF Induction. If inducted, Juanita SHOULD BE THERE to share with the rest of the group. PLAYBOY (Top 10 POP & R&B), TWISTIN'POSTMAN (TOP 40 POP, TOP 20 R&B), BEACHWOOD 4-5789 (TOP 20 POP, TOP 10 R&B), SOMEDAY,SOMEWAY (TOP 10 R&B), STRANGE I KNOW (TOP 10 R&B). Juanita was on several important hit recordings with the group" PLEASE MR. WON'T THEY EVER STOP ? THIS IS GETTING OLD. They are trying to EXCLUDE Original Marvelette JUANITA COWART from consideration for induction. The Marvelettes have been cited as an influence by and have been covered or sampled by the Miracles, Dusty Springfield, Darlene Love, the Beatles, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Rascals, Martha & the Vandellas, Paul McCartney, the Jackson 5, Bonnie Raitt, Blondie, the New York Dolls, Massive Attack with Tracy Thorn of Everything But The Girl, the Carpenters, Carla Thomas, the Chi-Lites, Mitch Ryder, Labelle, the Pointer Sisters, Florence Ballard of the Supremes, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, George Clinton, Phil Collins, Ella Fitzgerald, Jay-Z, Grace Jones, Dwight Yoakam, Betty Wright, Teena Marie, Lil Wayne, the Three Degrees, Sister Sledge, Melba Moore, the Crystals, the Cowsills, Candi Staton, Dee Dee Sharp, the Orlons, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Jeru The Damaja, Exile, Brenda & the Tabulations, the Tremeloes, Gwen Guthrie, Jazmine Sullivan, Harpers Bizarre, Bananarama, Taylor Dayne, Juelz Santana, J Dilla, the Elgins, the Action, the Flying Pickets, the Jets and Donnie and Marie Osmond, among many others.īUT, as with SRV & Double Trouble, the RRHOF is ONCE AGAIN playing a CON GAME on us. The Marvelettes have also influenced many other NON-MOTOWN ACTS AS WELL.Īccording to Clarles Crossley, at the "Top of The Charts" website: The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas,Mary Wells, Diana Ross solo, and numerous others traveled in the path first set by the MARVELETTES. EVERY SINGLE female artist on Motown owes the Marvelettes a GREAT DEBT. The Marvelettes were Motown's very first successful female act. Surviving members Wanda Young, Kathy Schaffner, AND Juanita (Wynetta) Cowart should ALL be honored on induction day !!! The ladies need to SPEAK UP.Īnd the Hall of Fame needs to stop playing GAMES. With two of the original members already dead, lead singer,Gladys Horton and Georgeanna Tillman, can they REALLY afford to start leaving out other original members as if they had NEVER EXISTED ?Ī possible Marvelettes induction SHOULD mean that ALL 5 ORIGINAL MEMBERS be inducted. I could SEE it if Juanita had left the group before they began to chart.like Georgia Dobbins did, but she is on some really important records here. Is this just ANOTHER case of RRHOF elitism? picking and choosing just which members get in, and which don't ? POSTMAN,it's followup hit, TWISTIN' POSTMAN,the Top 10 smash,"PLAYBOY",the Top 10 R&B hit,"SOMEDAY, SOMEWAY", and the Top 20 Pop Hit,BEACHWOOD 4-5789. JUANITA COWART was the FIFTH original member of the group.and she has been on several important Marvelettes recordings.including the #1 hit PLEASE MR. One of the ORIGINAL MARVELETTES is being SNUBBED by the "Hallowed Hall".
