The Marvelettes

The Marvelettes is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Valerie Simpson, Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Originals, Mable John and R. Dean Taylor. Those roots explain a lot about how The Marvelettes arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, The Contours, The Supremes, The Four Tops and Jr. Walker & The All Stars, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Honey Cone, Os Cascavelletes, Bon Jovi, With the Beatles and The Supremes, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 57 connections around The Marvelettes, reaching back through Valerie Simpson and forward to Honey Cone.
