I love these recollections of these two songs by all of you! Nice to hear that you even recall the stations that were playing these songs.
I always contend that the Marvelettes career at Motown and in general was very impressive given the competition they had within Motown itself. When they hit a slump in '63/'64, Motown could have decided to wash their hands of the group or they could have become like all those other acts that never got an album release and very few singles. I think the group was just too good and had a very dedicated following of fans that kept them going even during those lean times. Motown had to value them to some extent because they kept getting singles released on a pretty consistent basis.
