So many good '60s hits: Please Mr Postman (Motown's first # 1 pop hit, and that's Marvin Gaye on drums), Playboy, Beechwood 4-5789, Too Many Fish In The Sea, Don't Mess With Bill, The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marvelettes

Man, these were some of my very favorite songs back then.  I think that perhaps their version of Playboy was one of my very first 45 purchases.   Great tune, risque title, for a young boy back in those days!
