The 1976 Beatles discography book All Together Now credits the songwriting to Holland, Bateman, and Berry Gordy. The original With the Beatles album cover credited it to just Brian Holland (the 1987 CD release credits it to 'Dobbin-Garrett-Garman-Brianbert'). The original Tamla 45 single for the Marvelettes' version credits 'Dobbins/Garett/Brianbert' as the songwriters, and credits 'Brianbert' as producer. Journalist Ben Fong-Torres credits the song to Holland, Bateman, Gorman, Dobbins and Garrett. Freddie Gorman, himself a Detroit postman and another songwriting partner of Holland (before Holland became part of the Holland–Dozier–Holland team) was also involved in the final reworking. Dobbins left the group after the audition and was replaced, Gordy renamed the group and hired 'Brianbert' – Brian Holland and Robert Bateman's songwriting partnership – to rework the song yet again. Marvels original lead singer Georgia Dobbins needed an original song for their audition, and got a blues song from her friend William Garrett, which she then reworked for the group. In April 1961, the Marvelettes (then known as the Marvels) arranged an audition for Berry Gordy's Tamla label. Postman' has been covered several times, including by the British rock group the Beatles in 1963. Postman' became a number-one hit again in early 1975 when the Carpenters' cover of the song reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100. The single achieved this position in late 1961 it hit number one on the R&B chart as well. It is the debut single by the Marvelettes for the Tamla ( Motown) label, notable as the first Motown song to reach the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. Postman' is a song written by Georgia Dobbins, William Garrett, Freddie Gorman, Brian Holland and Robert Bateman.
