The Fabulettes were a soul music girl group who formed in Florida in the early 1960s. Initially using the name The Mar-Vells, they performed live concerts and did session work for other Florida musicians as well as releasing two singles. [1] Singer-songwriter Paul Kelly worked with them during their first years. [2]
From 1963 until 1968, the line-up consisted of Annette Snell, [3] Mattie Lovett, Addie Williams, and Loretta Ludlow. [4]
Their name was changed to The Fabulettes for their first single on Monument Records, a move likely made by the record company to avoid confusion with other similarly named groups. [4] This was followed in 1966 by two releases on soul label Sound Stage 7. [5] When Snell left the group to pursue a solo career, The Fabulettes attempted to find a replacement, but split up after cutting two more records. [1]
