Wanda could sing anything, in my opinion. What a pity that so much talent was effectively shut down after the Marvelettes folded with the exception of "Return" of course and the Levine productions. So many singers, so much talent, and their careers just end up being too short. I guess we should be very grateful for all we have, and have since been gifted with, on the Marvelettes as well as many other Motown groups!
