On this day in 1961 Motown would release the single “Please Mr. Postman” by The Marvelettes. It would become the first Motown single to hit #1 on the charts. It would be the only song The Marvelettes hit #1 with but Motown would explode. There were 191 Motown singles that hit #1 in either the United States or Internationally.  You can get the all on a 10 CD box set if you desire. My favourite Motown artist- Marvin Gaye. Runners up- Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Favourite Motown single ever- “Reach Out {I’ll Be There””
