I love their late 60s early 70s. Especially the albums that came out on the Roulette label. They sang some great songs on that album including Stardust, you’re the One [[not the Marvelettes song, the one by little sister who was a spinoff of sly and the family stone), Sugar on Sunday, and I think they did a really great version of MacArthur Park also. Great singers. There’s a double CD which has all their roulette material and it’s well worth buying.
I didn’t collect the Philadelphia era material but I’d like to hear it again.
