INDUCT THE MARVELETTES INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

Comments

#1

This group of ladies deserve to be in the RRHOF as they were at the forefront of girl groups back in the day when Motown was beginning to make its mark on the world of music. Who could ever forget their huge hit "Please Mr Postman" which has been covered by countless artists. The Marvelettes contributed and did their part in making Motown evolve into the history making record company it became. This group is long overdue for recognition by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm signing this petition because as a Motown AND Marvelettes fan, I believe that for what they have brought us and all their hard work, they should AT LEAST have an induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! There's many great Motown acts in there, but without The Marvellous Marvelettes, Motown wouldn't be Motown...I hope anyone reading this will also agree to sign the petition! DO IT NOW!

It is long-overdue for The Marvelettes to be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.

These ladies are highly deserving of this honor, leading the way for Motown's girl groups with a succession hits, along with Motown's first No 1 gold record, while these ladies are still with us honor their contribution to our musical heritage.

These ladies were first in so many ways and set the trend in doo-wop, pop, soul, and so many genres and are worthy of long overdue HOF recognition.

The Marvelettes were a dynamic singing and entertainment group whose music should be recognized

(Hollywood, 2017-01-16)

they deserve to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of fame. and it woudl be a dishonor to them not to do so. They may have not have sold as many records as the Supremes, however the time they came to Hitsville. They even headlined a couple of shows OVER THE MIRACLES in 62 because of the fame of Please Mr. Postman and Twistin Postman. Do you homework people. You have inducted artist that made me shake my head when you overpass legends such as The Marvelettes. The ORIGINAL Marvelettes.

I can not believe this has not happen for this talented ladies. They were of of the first girl group to have #1 hit. They were the best ever girl group ever. Two of the best lead singers with #1 hits by both. Please let's make this happen because now Gladys is gone. How it breaks my heart.

(El Paso, 2017-01-17)

They are long overdue. Please Mr Postman, deliver this for me.

The Marvelettes helped pioneer a sound that resonates as strong in 2017 as it did in the 1960's . The Motown sound is the sound of America. Induct the pioneers of Motown.

It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overdue!!!

(Atlanta, 2017-01-25)

#46

They were a fantastic singing group that deserves this honor. They were the group that gave Motown its 1st hit single and the money to promote other groups. Without this group of beautiful talented ladies Motown may not have been put on the world scene. They deserve recognition for this accomplishment.

The Marvelettes were pioneers in both the genres of Motown and Girl Group music. They belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

(CLIFTON, 2017-02-07)

The Marvelettes are on of the premier girl groups of all time

(Philadelphia, 2017-02-07)

#51

These ladies are so deserving of this honour! I can't believe some of the names that have got into this place ahead of them. One reason I would never visit is the lack of these types of wonderful girl groups.

(Newmarket, 2017-02-07)

#52

I grew up listening to the wonderful songs of The Marvelettes and to this day have them to listen to. Should have been in the Hall years ago.

Only four girl groups have been inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame since its inception. It's been 10 years since the last girl group, Harlem's own Ronettes, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

1. The Supremes - 1988
2. Martha and the Vandellas - 1995
3. The Shirelles - 1996
4. The Ronettes - 2007

(Oldbury, 2017-02-07)

#58

The ladies should have been inducted before. We need much more signings. Let's make this happen Marvelettes fans.

(Chicago, 2017-02-07)

They were originators and the best female group to come out of Motown, and they were Rock n' Roll/Rhythm and Blues, unlike some who are in the hall

(Oshawa, 2017-02-23)

Because!

(St breeard, 2017-03-15)

#65

The Marvelettes are one of many Legacy Artists of the 1960's whose credentials for induction not only surpass those of most current artists who are being inducted, but which have been shamefully neglected and overlooked. Let's change that starting with these deserving ladies of song. c

The Marvelettes are overdue for this honor.

(Detroit , 2017-03-16)

#68

These ladies had some fantastic rock & roll material. I cannot for the life of me understand why bands that covered their songs are in, but they are not. Please give them the credit they deserve and induct them into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

These ladies paid their dues and deserve their place on the wall of fame while they can look and see the seed they planted and enjoy the harvest. I am the wife of Samuel Golden of The Impressions and seeing his facwhenvt they were inducted made the years worthy of the sacrifices.

It's an absolute travesty that the Marvelettes -- who helped put Motown on the map and sustained their success for almost a decade -- are not getting their due from the Barbarians at the Gate that constitute the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They deserve far, far better than this.

The Marvelettes gave Motown their very first number one song. They were the epitome of early girl group sounds!

Because my mom deserves it. The Marvelettes helped to pave the way for so many female artists who have been inducted before them

The marvelettes were t first to have a no. 1 record at motown and snce 61 has had 6 top 20 hits. Two lead singers and two chart lifes worth of singles and albums.

(Brooklyn, 2018-01-11)

I believe that it is WRONG that these pioneering women have never been voted in to the Hall!! They are past due for the recognition they so richly deserve as Motown's first million-selling act.

(Jackson, 2018-01-11)

It’s been long enough... I think they deserve to finally be recognized!

(Sterling Heights , 2018-01-11)

The Marvelettes had ten year run as successful, hit-making group and we're instrumental to Motown's rise. They are long overdue for induction.

(Minneapolis , 2018-01-12)

The Marvelettes have been overlooked for much too long...

(Columbus, OH, 2018-01-13)

#106

This group and their many hits are what has made Motown the legend it remains today. You can't have the spirit of Motown and certainly not Rock and Roll without the Marvelettes.
