Gladys Horton from the Marvelettes of the 1960’s died due to complications from stroke. She died at 66 in a Sherman Oaks, California nursing home where she was recovering before her death. Horton was the lead singer of the all-girls singing group in the 60’s called the Marvelettes at only 17 years old. Their first hit was “Please Mr. Postman” and landed well in the pop charts and proceeded with hits such as 'Playboy,' 'Beechwood 4-5789' and 'Too Many Fish in the Sea.' She was indeed a great singer and a great contribution to the music industry. Rest in peace Gladys Horton.
