The Marvelows were one of those Chicago vocal groups that perfectly blended doo-wop roots with the clean, uptown sound of mid-’60s Chicago soul… The quintet brought a tight, energetic harmony that defined the era and left a small paper trail, but one very durable single #TheMarvelows #OneHitWondered

“I Do” was the one that clicked… Originally written by The Marvelows as a vocal warm-up, it became a bright, handclapping soul single with an old doo-wop backbone. In 1965, it crossed over from R&B radio onto the pop chart, making it their only US #Top40 hit. #TheMarvelows #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly "I Do" was originally a throwaway, show warm-up exercise…They weren’t even planning to record it until their label, ABC-Paramount, pushed for it. #TheMarvelows #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
