Two Lovers and Other Great Hits is an album released by Motown singer Mary Wells, the third album she released while recording for the label. It debuted on the Billboard album chart March 16, 1963 reaching #49, remaining on the chart for eight weeks. The album composed of Wells' third top ten hit, "Two Lovers", the follow-up hit, "Laughing Boy" and the b-side to the "Two Lovers" single, "Operator", the latter song later re-recorded as a minor hit for fellow Motown female crooner, Brenda Holloway.
