Young went on to become the lead singer of The Marvelettes in their later years.
The legendary singer's daughter, Meta Ventress, confirmed the news to theSaturday -- saying her mother had passed almost two weeks ago, on Dec. 15, in Garden City, MI as a result of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Of course, she contributed to their 1961 hit,"Pleases Mr. Postman" -- which became a no. 1 chart-topper for Berry Gordy big picture ... not to mention the first smash hit recorded by an all female group. In other words, WY and co. helped put Motown on the map. While singing co-lead through their peak, Young helped crank out famous tunes like"Locking Up My Heart" and"Too Many Fish in the Sea" ... and, eventually, she led the way with hits like"I'll Keep Holding On""Don't Mess with Bill,""The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game,""When You're Young and In Love" and"My Baby Must Be a Magician" ... among others.
