In the calendrical '60s, before the '60s became the cultural '60s,* there was a lot of great music from girl groups like the Marvelettes. I spent the summer of '69 delivering mail out of the Vermont Avenue station, Hollywood 29, California. One day out on the route two black girls approached this U. S. male singing the Marvelettes' tune, Please Mr. Postman. Ah, yes. Ever dial Beechwood 4-5789? Playboy. Don't Mess With Bill.
*I reckon the cultural '60s to have begun on 22 November 1963 with the assasination of JFK and to have ended on 30 April 1975 with the fall of Saigon. Your reckoning may vary.
