@LimonFox I think your thinking of the song SOMEDAY, SOMEWAY..not SOMEWHERE.. this is a completely different song. also this is Wanda on Lead. the other Someday Someway had Gladys on Lead.
I love MM's dedication to one of the really great soul groups. And his choice here is great - one of the best Marvelettes songs, which is saying a lot. Kudos to you MM. Keep these coming and ignore the clueless idiots.
@motonmaster-it`s my fav. as well dude! i remember, i brought the cd, transfered some songs on cassette to listen to when i travel. i went to buffalo ny. popped in the marvelettes, looking for someday, someway, and i recorded the wrong song, and I WAS GLAD TOO! i recorded this song instead, and NOW.......the best song on this cd, and next, don`t let hurting me a habit, and the rest follows, but the whole cd is great, but got no airplay...........SHAME!
How are things down in your mother's basement, son? Just play the damn tune, go back to beating off to cartoons, and shut the hell up already. We could care less about your geeky factoids, we just wanna hear the song.
i like your intros and hist on these rare records...wow late lp for globe label wish i even had all their lps period them and mary wells.....hard and expensive thx for sharing....30 yo old soul rock fan
@19Chuck80 The Marvelettes last 5 Lp's The Greatest Hits, The Marvelettes, Sophisticated Soul, In Full Bloom and Return Of The Marvelettes are all actually very easy to find and not that expensive, i found all those for under $10 bucks each, its the first 5 Lp's that are hard to come by, especially Marvelettes Sing....
@MotownMaster i have yahoo messenger on my computer and i would like to know if you can send me these tracks as i would be forever grateful....chrisandjabunny@ yahoo.com.....thanks
Man this is the shit.i remember when i was like 5 and all i wanted to do on weekend monrings is play nothen but oldies and this was on of them......i have a question how can i find this album on cd.thanks
Love this song...Wanda could do no wrong on record. Once again I'm LOVING all the love The Marvelettes are getting i thought i was ALONE in my thinking that The Marvelettes are the GREATEST!
Thanks for posting, not heard this before, Wanda sounds heavenly. Do you know whos singing background, sounds like Miracles or quite possibly Temps. Whoever it is lush and georgous.
I love that you've posted this, with the intro. And it's one of their best. Stark, sad, very emotional song by the incredibly underrated Marvelettes. Wanda's vocal is so soulful and longing - beautiful!
My Absolute Personal FAVOURITE!!! Bravo!! Diggin' the hopsicords in the middle-Sounds like Count Dracula rising from the grave to give me a hickey!(LoL)Incidently, Gladys was replaced by the great Ann Bogan.
This should have definitely been a single. Would have been a big hit. That intro and vocal is very sweet, tender, and reminiscent of down-home soul with a northern twist. Also, very singlable like supreme records.
The song "My Baby Must Be a Magician" was also from that LP is found on one of the MM vids with is the original globe/record 45, not the one with the box. It's on right now!
It's always a pleasure to hear different oldies such as this from the marvelettes or any other group that didn't top the charts. I'd love to have the chance to listen to the b-sides and unreleased records from motown, that would be a dream for me!
This LP "Sophisticated Soul" was the last LP to have the globe Tamla on the label side by side with a brown donut. But there were other copies that has the boxed Tamla label as well.
Yes, that's certainly Gladys's warm, husky, commanding voice on "I Need Someone." The lyrics are a bit trite but her vocal is so fine it doesn't matter. A great one.
That's wrong... Turn that Lp... That one is not Someday Somewhere.

MotownMaster, what year did they stopped using the globe & record side by side on the label after "Sophisticated Soul"?
HomeoftheGoodGuys 4 years ago
actually it was around The Marvelettes "Pink" album they stopped using the globes, but if you look around you can find later LP's with the globes

Does Gladys sing lead on the album track, "I Need Someone" from the Marvelttes album of 1967. That song should have been a single.
