Carpenters – Please Mr Postman
“Please Mr. Postman” single by Carpenters from the album Horizon. Released on November 8, 1974.
“Please Mr. Postman” is a song written by Georgia Dobbins, William Garrett, Freddie Gorman, Brian Holland and Robert Bateman. It is the debut single by the Marvelettes for the Tamla (Motown) label.
A hit cover of “Please Mr. Postman” was recorded by the Carpenters, whose version took the song again to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1975. The Carpenters’ version resembles an old 1950s rock & roll song. The single was released in late 1974, reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts in January 1975, and was the duo’s 10th and final million-selling single. The corresponding Horizon album was belatedly released in June 1975 and went Platinum.
A music video of the song, filmed in Disneyland, can be found on the DVD Gold: Greatest Hits (released in 2002), originally packaged as Yesterday Once More (released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1985).
