The Marvelettes a.k.a. The Pink Album is a 1967 album by American vocal group The Marvelettes, also their seventh LP.
Overview
Recording for The Pink Album began in 1966. While Smokey Robinson handled much of the production, there is also production from James Dean and William Weatherspoon, who would provide material for The Marvelettes' next album. Producers felt that the group needed to offer a sound more mature and developed that contrasted their previous recordings.[2] This album contains only two singles: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" (No.13 US, No. 2 R&B) which was written and produced by Robinson, and its follow-up, a remake of Ruby & the Romantics' "When You're Young and in Love" (No. 23 US, No. 9 R&B, No. 13 UK) which was the group's only single to reach UK charts.[3]The Marvelettes topped out at No. 129 in the US and was more successful on the R&B chart, at No. 13.
