"Beechwood 4-5789" is a 1962 single released by Motown girl group The Marvelettes on the Tamla record label. Written by Marvin Gaye, William "Mickey" Stevenson and George Gordy, the lyrics are about the narrator wanting a man she just met to call her number in order to "have a date, any ol' time. " The song's title is derived from the now defunct use of telephone exchange names in telephone numbers.

- "Beechwood 4-5789" is a 1962 single released by Motown girl group The Marvelettes on the Tamla record label. Written by Marvin Gaye, William "Mickey" Stevenson and George Gordy, the lyrics are about the narrator wanting a man she just met to call her number in order to "have a date, any ol' time. " The song's title is derived from the now defunct use of telephone exchange names in telephone numbers. In this case, the significant portions of the exchange name were the first two letters of "Beechwood" (BE), and the remainder of the number. In conventional modern use, this telephone number would be 234-5789. An early Motown signature, the song was led by Marvelettes co-lead singer Gladys Horton, who sang lead on the group's groundbreaking 1961 smash, "Please Mr. Postman. " The song reached number 17 on the pop singles chart almost repeating the success of "Postman. " Much like their earlier hits, Marvin Gaye, who co-wrote the song, also played drums on it. In 1981, Karen and Richard Carpenter recorded it for their Made in America album. They then released it as a single in early 1982 and did a music video in a 1950s-style diner.
