Hey,I remember that Marvelettes,Please Mr. Postman album.It had this picture of a mailbox with a spider web on it.No picture of the group anywhere.
Bobby Hebb!Now THATS a good singer who never got his props.His follow up to Sunny,Love Me,sounded exactly like the hit but his next single,Satisfied Mind,is one of my all time favorites lyrically.
Never went anywhere on the charts,tho!

Riverman -- you've got it with The Marvellettes album with the cartoon cover. I also recall a Shirelles album where there were just drawn silhouettes of four women sitting on swings. Pretty lame.

I agree Bobby Hebb never went as far as he should have. Glad to run into another person who appreciates "Satisfied Mind." He had one called "Bread" that I liked at the time -- I think it was the flipside of "Sunny." I never saw anyone bring a house down more than Hebb did during a performance of "Sunny" on "The Tonight Show." He did an incredibly dramatic crescendo upon crescendo and practically tore the place apart. I had no idea he had it in him.

Garnett Mimms should have been a superstar too!
