[coy935]

I'm not even 20 >:D

[smilenotfrown411]

this isnt by the shirells 

[CHIsk8erALVA]

Shit. 16 people haven't hit puberty.

[jonathanjohnson123]

This is the fucking Marvelettes, not the Shirelles! I demand the idiot whom posted this take it down immediately!

[yoyo4941321]

people who hate this song are so stupid. listen to the words

[SIMON260197]

i have noticed the carpenters did the same song as the shirelles

[whines63]

16 people don't need to have their mail delivered

[MikeBlitzMag]

The others are definitely correct. This is the Marvelettes.

[AeroJosuex360]

the beatles are berrer (:

[LyricalWax]

Gosh, I can never get tired of this song!

[laurgreen]

oh yeah.now i know.i am fifty!

[xXxlolxXx52]

is that michael jackson???

[devon8trillionaire]

@xXxlolxXx52 your thee dumbest person i know do it sound like michael jackson

[TheSincere14U]

As a "Classic R&B Rare Oldies 60's-80's" buff I must note that "Mr. Postman" is by the MARVELETTES. Our Legendary R&B artists worked hard for the hits that made them household names. It's incumbent upon us to make sure we're accurately representing their music & history when we pass it along. Peace, Power & Purpose!

[provital5]

I'm old enough to have seen the Shirelles and the Marvelettes back in the day, when they were cranking out hits and this is the Marvelettes with Gladys Horton singing lead.

[LyricalWax]

@provital5 Wow! I'm so jealous!!

[Micelli1947]

COOKIE'S SONG!!!!!!! REMEMBER WHEN?????GOOD TIMES, GOOD FRIENDS.

[NickyLess]

I always loved this song as a kid, but also remember it being used on SM:TV Live lol! So now I always do the dance to it lol!

[The617Viet]

[computerorphone]

[georgiaboi420]

@AlphaProductz Hahaha awesome that was the first thing that popped in my head when I heard this. Cragga version is pretty epic too.

[spacecoreninja]

I love this song so much.

[TNFlightNurse]

Marvelletes, now that was TRUE MOTOWN ROYALTY!

[Micelli1947]

A REAL BLAST FROM THE PAST COOL TIMES, MOTOWN MUSIC, COULD NOT GET BETTER THAN THAT

[Tonithenightowl]

ok best version outside of this is the Beatles

[WCJordan44]

This is not the Shirelles...this is the Marvelettes

[Rantamplanete]

It's the Marvelettes version.

If I'm not wrong, The Shirelles never did that version... I think is what EP is trying to say.

Anyway... enjoy!!

[sunnysoundblackpool]

youtube picks it up as The Four Tops - It's the Same Old Song

[elamite66]

As I see others have already posted the fact that this is the Marvelettes and not the Shirelles I'm not sure if this was 1962 but if it wasn't it must have been released at the end of 1961 and I was 12 when I bought this record thanks for the posting regardless

[dylandollyspud]

RIP Gladys Horton, who was just a kid when she sang lead on this. She cut some terrific stuff for Motown, and I saw her on stage a few years back She was fantasic, but God knows who the other "Marvelettes" with her were. Far too young to be the original girls.

Gordy treated this group very badly in favour of the Supremes and Ms Ross, so no wonder he lost so many great acts. He made his money and ripped off so many artistes at Motown

[nicklabropoulos]

why can't you learn to spell, aristaphat21

[Aristaphat21]

@nicklabropoulos what r u talking about? Who is lame enuff to spell everything out..........? I do not need to learn anything but what u meant by such a meaningless uncontributory comment.

[SamCam654]

@megatennisballs You Have no Soul, Go troll on someother song

[XFAIEX]

Love it

[vonn003]

I can remember when the sound of this reflected it self in an era of music, with meaning, there was unity. By the end of the 60’s my parents divorced. I would get tossed back and forth from Dad to Mom house. This 45 I would always play after the post man left with each address with no letter.

[bigboi2610]

Drummer is Marvin Gaye!

[HARDCORETHUG]

great song tho..

[DarklyDeceived]

i wasnt even thought about in the 1950's - 1960's....i was a 90's baby....but by god i love the oldies!!! =)

[colins27]

@DarklyDeceived We have a couple of things in common

[kasey85]

This is the Marvelettes. They recorded this in April 1961 and released it that August. Please don't be continuously ignorant and credit the wrong artist.

[wellergilardino9]

Beatles version - Epic !

[iohnny123]

y does it say 50s n 60s the song is from '61 so 50s?

[MeAlchX]

Listen to Cragga - Mr Postman.

Might piss off the die-hard fans.

[YourLovelyBabyDoll]

WOW !! Thanks for the post.

[TheWizzooo]

Marvelettes Marvelettes Marvelettes!

[Thumper17]

I'm 19, and I've had this song stuck in my head forever.

[harmnieboer]

nice song;D

[DooWopFanatic]

Please Mr. philly look and see, it's not the Shirelles as you can plainly see. Please Mr. phii-iii-iiiiiiiiiiiiily, The Marvelettes is who this should be.

[smashulie]

@DooWopFanatic xD Hahaha nice one.

[DooWopFanatic]

@smashulie Thanks! I see they still didn't change it. Oh well, at least we know better.

[kittycaley]

Great!  Luv tge Shirelles!

[MrMonkey2222]

MARVELETTES

[suckmycaulk]

this would go hard on like a 50s gta game

[bahriboy]

@suckmycaulk HAHAHA

[mikemikeyf]

An instant hit in NYC by the Marvelettes. Yes it did too sound something like the Shirelles imo, but thats a compliment.

[beatleholic13]

The original's always better even though the Beatles did well...

[cassiegeselle11]

i actually LOVE this song so much!! its great

[knhnj]

I really like this song. But it might sound a little better faster.

[lifeisonehugedream]

GREAT GREAT GREAT song..... i wish theyd write songs like this again.

[xhalloweene1]

What singing group sang this sweet song that goes like "Oaks from acorns grew, one and one make two, I believed it all, didn't you? " Hope to find that one...

[CheckMate657879]

@xhalloweene1 Try "Googling" the lyrics - the same lines you posted here. Hope you find it.

[xhalloweene1]

@CheckMate657879 I'll do that. Thanx 4 the answer. 

[xhalloweene1]

@CheckMate657879 Hi! CheckMate657879 ... The moment I saw your msg I did it rightaway. With just one search I found it on Google at International Lyrics Playground. It was the Sandpipers who sang the song. You helped me ! THANK YOU !!!

[CheckMate657879]

@xhalloweene1 You're more than welcome. I'm glad you found it.

[lokitagaby17]

Marvelettes not the shirelles

[slim195771]

LITTLE BIT SOAP

[Billiegean]

Great song!!! Good job Marvelettes.

[JimNightshade831]

Sweet oldoes finally i found one version of this that isnt the dubstep one and its good quality

[sjoara]

They dont make good music like this anymore. And I am not old, but I know good music when I hear it!@!!

[camoflauge33]

@sjoara

[IMADOOWOPNUT]

Like CheckMate said, this isn't the Shirelles, it's the Marvelettes!

[GregDad100]

Thanks for the upload, Philly, but these are the Marvelettes, NOT the Shirelles. This song was one of the first Motown (though not on the Motown label) to make to No. 1. It also took almost four months to do so (and it stayed there just one week).

[Bossaura]

nice

[nyclib1]

Thanks for the memories...great time, greatest music

[pamonapimpin]

The marvelletes;;&&_I Like the techno remixx 2:)

[jonobeercan666]

i love the lead voice..

[trixie10121]

I recorded some music about a year ago because I love the oldies sound alot so drop by anytime and give a listen or when you have time "Keep The Oldies Alive"

[empressariyana]

I knew I wasn't going insane. Yeah this is definitely NOT The Shirelles. The Marvelettes are pretty distinct in their sound.

[Fiftiesflashback]

Wait A Minute Mr. Postman...It's The Marvalettes! Hitsville USA...Songwriters: Goreman, Freddie; Bateman, Robert; Garrett, William; Holland, Brian; Dobbins, Georgia

[liayuki29]

wait a minute mr postman! man i love this song!

[shaochengy]

Thank you for the good old song.

[colindominy]

GREAT GROUP !! And - This is classic late 50s / early 60s R & B style rock music. To anyone out there : does anyone know who wrote this great song ?? Could easily be a Lieber & Stoller composition, I'd hazard to guess, by the sound & character of it.

[alysjosh]

the marvelettes foo

[trixie10121]

Want To Hear Some Never Before Heard Oldies Music Come To My Page

[Patrickpc100]

IT"S THE MARVELETTES!

[DeepRedBlue]

@Aristaphat21 True. Black people existed first and the pattern has only continued... ;)

[thepouge1]

@Aristaphat21 lol! Elvis made himself rich that way!

[PREZ150]

[redsnapper1959]

It's the Marvelettes ... no question!

[prowlamongus]

You can't beat this original. I don't care who you are/were....

[purity786]

Please Please Mr.Postman.

Give me the letter from that boy of mine!

Whose handwriting is so fine!

[easypickns]

Just want to let the young people know that this song is by the Marveletts.

[sunnysoundblackpool]

@easypickns karen carpenter wins

[elamite66]

@sunnysoundblackpool Karen Carpenter wins? in what way? not as far as the best version of the song not by a long shot!!!! the Marvelettes win hands down Motown vs. Karen Carpenter? absurd no contest!!!! Karen did a journeyman's job on her cover of this song and that's as far as it goes!!! PERIOD

[elamite66]

@sunnysoundblackpool Karen Carpenter wins? in what way? not as far as the best version of the song not by a long shot!!!! the Marvelettes win hands down Motown vs. Karen Carpenter? absurd no contest!!!! Karen did a journeyman's job on her cover of this song and that's as far as it goes!!! PERIOD NOTHING TO EVEN DISCUSS

[cherokee902]

Mr Postman only leave me a letter only if there is a big check I can take to the bank LOL. This is a beautiful song and I can relate when I needed to hear from the one I love

[AAZ323]

These are not The Shirelles.

[olu674]

[XxADSO94xX]

This is the shit

PHILLY ALL DAY 215

[tomxixtus]

Yeah, I like the Beatles version, but this is a classic nonetheless.

[musicdream822]

This song (by the Marvelettes, not the Shirrels) is still a stunner as it brings tears down my face. Last time heard = 1963

[kustomflex]

mate im 25 tho i dont cry there is nothing to match the 50s rock n roll imo!!

[Freyja1133]

kustom,this song was a hit in 1961.not the 50s

[symphony2669]

Im 24 and I totally agree with you nothing compares!

[tomkes100]

Please Mr Postman well thats a great hit for the Shirelles, MEGAHIT. These girls had IT. They were great still are. they are IMMORTAL. the early 60s they were on top doo wop or rock. Im a doo wop rocknroll historian. i nknoew great music i lived thru. this sng like most snything these girls sang will live on for GENERATIONS TO COME. Thsnks Shirelles. bless you for always. todays music can take a page from your book. TOMK

[txzeeero]

[cutiepie131000]

damn....JUSES TORREZ AM GOING TO UR HOUSE WITH VIKKI OK======BITHC AND ALL SEE U AND ANGLE OKY BRO......I LOVE YOU AS A FRIEND!!!!!:{}:

[andyhawne]

wasn't this the first Motown No 1

[TheRoloCasanova]

What a travesty calling the Marvellous Marvelettes the Shirelles. This is Motown Magic not Wand Wanabees. A thousand lashings for you. (Actually the Shirelles are pretty good but they didn't do THIS one)

[Melchersson]

I probably get a thumbs down, but the Beatles version is just as good! But I just love this version to!

[sickwiner]

badass oldie homs lil white 13

[CheckMate657879]

That is NOT the Shirelles.

That is the Marvelettes.

Others covered this song but it wasn't the Shirelles.

This song is not even the Shirelles' style.

[Bronxjames]

Great ! I just came from the S Bronx! And you really know what your talking about! Got It in 1963 , 45rpm. Mash potato time.Bronx James

[jluvc4ever2008]

@CheckMate657879  hi

[schizophrenicmadness]

@CheckMate657879 yeah, checkmate657879 you're right. the other groups that covered this song are the beatles and the carpenters. marvelettes the original.

[SergeantPaenzer]

I was a Postman.... Like this Song ;-)

[drunkenmathematics]

this is a badass oldies joint!

[kid3499]

i love this song

and its TIMELESS

[Dknangel]

I couldn't say more haha =D

[RetinaAI]

didnt members of the marvelletes end up being part of the shirelles?

[blujenebby]

You are aware how unreliable wikipedia is aren't you? Don't you know that anyone can add to or change the information on there? What someone thinks they know and what actually is are two completey different things.

[frybreadeater2008]

this is not the shirelles this is marvellettes

[jermainel84]

the original singers was the shirelles learn your music history

[Seaneeboy92]

This is The Marvelettes singing this song... they're a Motown group.... learn your music history.

[williamg2552]

@jermainel84 THE SHIRELLES NEVER RECORDED THIS SONG. this is THE MARVELETTES, Motown's first successful girl group. It was released on Motown's TAMLA subsidiary label. (the same label that THE MIRACLES, STEVIE WONDER, and MARVIN GAYE recorded for). The SHIRELLES recorded for Scepter Records. THE MARVELETTES were led by GLADYS HORTON and WANDA YOUNG-ROGERS. GLADYS led this song. SHIRLEY ALSTON-REEVES was lead singer for THE SHIRELLES.

[KyuuChan16]

I love this song! Thnx for putting it on here. (:

[northportoldies]

the mavellets are the old name of the sherells diferent lead singers but the sherells are not at all the same peopple as the marvellets.

[TheEradicator84]

It's the Marvelettes
