Anne Bogan was born on March 17, 1941, in Cleveland, Ohio. Bogan joined the Marvelettes in 1967 after lead singer Gladys Horton departed.[2] She can be heard on their releases Sophisticated Soul, In Full Bloom, and The Return of The Marvelettes, however neither Katherine Anderson or Bogan appear on the cover of The Return of The Marvelettes. The cover instead featured a new picture of Wanda Young and two fake Marvelettes (reportedly Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce Evans of The Undisputed Truth, whose faces are purposely unidentifiable) on horseback to emphasize the album's new title.
After the Marvelettes disbanded in 1970, Bogan became a part of the New Birth and their subgroup, Love, Peace & Happiness, before retiring to raise her children.[3]
In 2012, Bogan was interviewed for an episode spotlighting the Marvelettes on the TV-One show, Unsung.[4]
As lead singer of the Marvelettes:
As a Marvelette, Bogan was nominated for 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The group made the ballot a second time for induction in the year 2015.[5]
