Artist Info: The Marvelows

The Marvelows were an American soul group from Chicago. After contacting Johnny Pate, the group signed with ABC Records and recorded four sides: "A Friend", "My Heart", "Hey Hey Baby", and "I Do". The last of the four was released as a single and became a U.S. hit, peaking at #7 on the Black Singles chart and reaching the Top 40 in the Billboard Hot 100 at #37.

Their 1965 single "I Do" was covered in 1977, with relatively minor stylistic changes, by The J. Geils Band.
