Please Mr. Postman

The Carpenters' 1975 cover of this Motown classic, originally written by Georgia Dobbins, William Garrett, Freddie Gorman, Brian Holland, and Robert Bateman, became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1975. The song was first recorded by the Marvelettes in 1961 as the debut single for Motown's Tamla label, making it the first Motown song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
