Sophisticated Soul is the eighth album issued by Motown girl-group the Marvelettes. It is the first album to feature Ann Bogan who replaced Gladys Horton in 1967 (although Horton's voice is featured on a few of the tracks), and most of the lead vocals are by Wanda Young. Like many Motown albums produced in the late 1960s, Sophisticated Soul featured backing from the Andantes, Motown's premier backing group, on certain tracks, others feature Bogan and Katherine Anderson.
