The fact an article like this has to be written at all proves just how batshit crazy our times truly are.

Obituary: Wanda Young, 78, singer of the Marvelettes, died this month:
Young joined the Marvelettes just after they signed with Motown Records, as they were working on the song that would make them stars, “Please Mr. Postman.” Young sang backing vocals on the track, the first No. 1 hit for Motown. She went on to sing lead vocals on several of the Marvelettes’ singles including the million-selling “Don’t Mess with Bill” as well as “I’ll Keep Holding On,” “The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game,” and more. In the group’s later years, she was the primary lead singer as well as one of the two original members remaining in the group. Young left Motown and the music business when the Marvelettes disbanded in 1972, though she returned for a reunion album in the 1990s.
