The Marvelettes - The Marvelettes (Bonus Tracks) (2020)

A late masterpiece album with mature and comfortable mid-slow songs! The fifth album (from 1967) by the girl group "Marvelettes," known for their hit "Please Mr. Postman," is a masterpiece that shows a departure from their traditional sound, with a mature and sexy atmosphere. The first Smokey Robinson album to chart in the UK? The album also features dreamy sounds such as a cover of the Ruby & The Romantics' "The Rumours" which reached No. 2 on the R&B charts. The charm of this album is to be intoxicated by the dreamy sound of the songs on the album, such as the rhythmic "I'll Be Your Mother," written by Johnny Bristol, and Robert Parker's "I'll Be Your Mother," which reached #2 on the R&B chart. The selection of songs, such as the rhythmic cover by Johnny Bristol and Robert Parker's sultry cover, is also a must-see. A Bacharach song, "Bacharach", also sits on the disc. The album also includes four bonus tracks, including single versions of songs from the album. Commentary: Takatsugu Arai
