3-27-24 William Stephenson, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder OMG. Martha Vandella with Berry Gordy she brought out the Big Guns of Legendary MOTOWN’S GREATS. PRICELESS
Good to see Martha and Motown legends Mickey, Smokey, Stevie and Berry in such good health! The little banter between Miss Reeves and her former boss was especially nice to watch. And Berry's "forced" exit - so funny! Martha truly deserved this day! But where were her Vandellas? Even the Supremes were recognized despite their superstar.
Congratulations Martha Reeves for receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. So cool that Berry Gordy, Smokey & Stevie to show up to show love and support.
MARTHA REEVES many heartfelt congratualtions. As a kid in junior high school, I remember rocking out to Dancing In the Street so thank you and God bless!❤🙏
Martha Reeves legend ♥️♥️ my mother's all time fav, seen Martha Reeves in Liverpool England singing with a street busker. God bless you Martha Reeves 🙏♥️
Congratulations to Dr Martha 🌹 Rose Reeves . You look amazing and that hat is fantastic. Your handsome son Eric escorting you to the stage is heartfelt. Thanks for sharing Eric, your only child with the world. God Bless you and your beautiful family and continued career.
I read Martha's autobiography, she had so many ups and downs. It's so great that she lived long enough to finally receive the recognition she deserved.
While Deployed Overseas during the 70's, Motown was in constant rotation in our barracks!! Sippin🍾 & Groovin🎵!! Ahhhh the memories!! #Motown4Life #MilitaryDays🇺🇲hooah💪 #Congrats🎉🎵🎉🎶🎉
Congratulations Ms. Reeves for your Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Love your music: Wild Night (from the movie, Thelma & Louise) blasting it now along with "Bless You", "Honey Chile", "Tear It On Down" and my all time favorite from the very beginning "Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things" Oh! heart be still.
I’m VERY happy for her. However, why didn’t Ms. Martha Reeves AND the Vendellas get a star? This is kind of like Smokey Robinson getting a star without the Miracles.
The ⭐ has Martha's Name, the Original Vandellas were Rosalind Ashford and Betty Kelly. The Group was formed by Friends Annette Beard, Rosalind Ashford and Gloria Williams, Martha joined later and became the Lead Singer. Her 2 Younger Sisters Lois and Delphine joined the Group later and they disbanded in 1972.

@@rashawnda-professor2999 oh i know. However, when they first gave Smokey the star, the Miracles weren’t mentioned. When he got the Rock Hall of Fame, he got it as a solo artist and not when he was in the group. Now, they all finally got the recognition they deserve.
Yeah I think this Star is long overdue for Martha Reeves. The SAD part about it is that (as much fame and fortune that Martha Reeves contributed to Motown, Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson and all other Writers, Producers and Executives at Motown) SHE DIDN'T HAVE 55,000 TO PAY FOR THAT STAR AND FANS HAD TO STEP IN AND PUT UP THE FUNDS FOR MARTHA REEVES TO GET HER STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME. If Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Melvin Franklin of The Temptations and other Rich Black Artist had put just a $100 each, Martba could have had her star on the Walk of Fame years ago. It's a Crying and Embarrassing shame the way we black people treat each other and have no shame about it. Apparently there's no pension to draw from Motown So can she get a Mere $55,000 from😤 "D"
Just one small correction: @lindarose5446 stated "Melvin Franklin" of the Temptations. Mr. Franklin is deceased! "Otis Williams" of The Temptation is STILL alive!
In all fairness, rarely do the recipients (stars) actually pay the $55k - whether the "star" does or doesn't have the funds. It's usually paid by a record label, movie studio, management firm, or some other professional association within the entertainment industry. In cases of much older "stars" who may have retired or their careers no longer require any of the associations listed above, funding is usually raised (such was the case with Martha). It was down to the wire and looking questionable as to whether the funding would materialize, but thankfully it all worked out. In any case, your point is well taken - as it didn't have to get down to the wire. Those you listed could have easily contributed and wrapped this up early on.
Sorry, Stevie, but Shop Around was not a #1 Billboard pop record - it rose to #2. The Marvelettes' Please Mr. Postman was Motown's first #1 Billboard pop record.
In order to be legit, the star should include, "& the Vandellas." Also, wouldn't it have been wonderful if that Prima Donna, Diana Ross, had brought her sorry ass out to celebrate with MR?

It is sad because I have walked that sidewalk since the 70's and I can't believe some of the names that are on there before others such as Martha.
Just one small correction: @lindarose5446 stated "Melvin Franklin" of the Temptations. Mr. Franklin is deceased! "Otis Williams" of The Temptation is STILL alive!
@@ddlee202257 You're right 👍😄 I meant to say Otis Williams. I knew Melvin was gone. I've watched the movie at least 5 times 😄 Thanks 👍
Yess your are right ,it's sad but I'm glad it finally happened before she died!

Awesome!
Sorry, Stevie, but Shop Around was not a #1 Billboard pop record - it rose to #2. The Marvelettes' Please Mr. Postman was Motown's first #1 Billboard pop record.
Would’ve been nice to have Roz and Betty there.
Two bad MARVELETTES DIDNT GET IT THERE ALL GONE
Omg why am I late ♥️♥️♥️
Have they done a star for Martha & The Vandellas?
I don't think so.
In order to be legit, the star should include, "& the Vandellas."
Also, wouldn't it have been wonderful if that Prima Donna, Diana Ross, had brought her sorry ass out to celebrate with MR?
I agree the Vandellas should have been included.
Dont they realize you are god of knowledge not worship. But they never get out of vibration. But congradulation. to her .
this is to damn funny! barry and her too many ta dunk dunk! snare bass drum outros!🤣
48:07 - you look like clowns that have never done this before
You should stop talking bad about your self ! Be nicer to yourself!
Well deserved way past overdue. Congratulations aunt Martha.
Now, Why Does Martha Reeves Want People Walking All Over Her Name?
