From 1958, the flip is "Chick A Boomer" - supposedly an early lineup of the Marvelettes. |

Hi Mel,
I've seen it written that Gladys Horton of the
Marvelettes was a member but to be honest I'm
pretty dubious about that.
I've a provisional date of 1959 for it.
IF Gladys was a member that would mean she was
around 14 years old at the time - JVB as you probably know was owned by Joe Battle and was
run out of the back room of his record shop.
Gladys was fostered as a child - she was living in
Inkster, as were the rest of the Marvelettes,
which was apparently regarded by Detroiters as
being "out in the sticks". I have a problem with
believing that any foster parent would let a fourteen-year old travel, what twenty or thirty
miles, into one of the roughest looking areas of
Detroit to make a record.
I certainly can't remember the record being mentioned by Gladys in interviews - she always says that the first time she recorded was the
"PLease Mr. Postman" session.

in the book The Original Marvelettes by Marc Taylor which was released a few months back it tells the story about a 14 year old Gladys Horton joining with friends Jeanette and Juanita McClafin along with Rosemary Wells in 1959 to record those songs on J-V-B.
in the book Glayds is quoted on this story and said she was a background singer.
J-V-B's 5000 series was started in 1959 so the date mentioned is correct. |
