Gladys Horton, co-founder of the Marvelettes, passed away last week. Shout out to our Spinning Soul family for being the first to let us know. Gladys became the lead singer of the group best known for the hit, ‘Mr. Postman.’ Horton and the Marvelettes were part of the Motown family and one of the first acts on the label. Gladys died in peacefully in a nursing facility, where she had been since her stroke in 2009. Today, we remember Gladys Horton and the Marvelettes.
