Fabulous! They look like they're enjoying themselves. Do you know where and when this footage was recorded Marv? They look like they are rehearsing perhaps. They aren't actually singing, are they? Another really wonderful post. Many thanks, it's much enjoyed and appreciated.
Kat looks like a model, huh?
Kat is a very beautiful woman. Is anyone singing lead or are they just dancing? This is great. Thx!
Thanks Marv! This is great.
You're welcome. I'll say it again. There has to be tons of video of the Motown artists from foreign television out there.
And Wanda would be on right singing lead. Great stuff! Bring em on!!
In this Rainy Mourning clip, when I look at Wanda, I see a resemblance to Taraji P Henson. Anyone else? Never thought of it before.
Have seen these clips and whilst good the girls are not actually singing the songs in question. The poster even got the title of' Rainy Mourning' wrong! What I'd love to see are performances of 'Hunter' & 'Young & in Love'.
Yes, it does look like 'Too Many Fish In The Sea' to me. The tape is slowed down [[also, for the 'Rainy Mourning' clip)
It looks like a spontaneously adapted performance, given with little or no notice, and not having their tambourines to hand [[literally!).
After all this time, very good to see both clips!
I know that The Marvelettes' "Rainy Mourning" was recorded while Gladys Horton was still in the group. However since the song wasn't released until three years later [[and after Gladys had left the group), there's no way that there would be a video clip for a song that Motown hadn't released. Also I question whether there would a clip for the song since "Rainy Mourning" wasn't a 'A-side' [[usually for a clip of a song, it has to be a hit or a potential hit).
These Marvelettes` clips are not the real thing as the the poster has admitted compiling them.
it's clips of Marvelettes on UK tour about 66/67
The music clips have just been added to the videos...there is no connection between the two...just somebody being 'creative'
For those who have not heard this interview with Gladys Horton recorded in 1992, she sets out how she felt about how The Marvelettes were unrecognised........

I do see some familiar names from the forum so I am posting this purely for those who were unaware of the recording...... click on the cursor on the HIPCAST.COM sound file

[[The interview was heavily discussed on the forum back in 2011 so if you are familiar with
it, you'll know the story.)

I couldn't make the interview work on an iPhone--any thoughts?
