  • Martha, Annette and Rosalind, better known as Martha and The Vandellas, were there nearly from the start. They were witnesses as well as participants experiencing the growth and success of a record label that would become home to some of the most legendary American R&B artists during the 1960s and 1970s.

    I had the pleasure of meeting the legendary Martha Reeves as well as the late great fellow Motown pioneer Mary Wilson. It was an honor to meet them both. I even told Ms. Reeves I honestly liked her version of Dancing in the Street with the Vandellas even more so than the 80s Bowie/Jagger version. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I'm really glad you did this. I am a huge Motown fan. And someone once said that Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were a 'One Hit Wonder' and I said Nooo they had a Lot of hits Come And Get These Memories, Heatwave, Dancing In the Street, Quicksand, Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things, Nowhere To Run, Honey Chile, My Baby Loves Me etc... So no they were not a one hit group At All! Also Martha's albums post Motown were good too!

      So glad you could educate someone on the illustrious and very rockin' tuneful hit songs of Martha and The Vandellas. I was a young kid then working in a downtown Detroit record store, and their records sold out (and were restocked) quickly. It was a glorious time only a few short years before "The Troubles" came to Detroit. Always rely on the music, though; always the music. Once it's in you, it never leaves--and you don't want it to.

      The public favored Diana first with 12 number-one hits. Martha had zero number-one hits. So why wouldn't Berry back a winner? Diana's success had nothing to do with who she was sleeping with. Berry looked at her and saw he had a gold mine. He said he fell in love with her just like the public did.

    You don't talk about what Betty Kelly did after she was dismissed from the Vandellas. After all, Betty was in the Vandellas when they had most of their hits including Dancing in the Street and Betty is included in the footage for most of their major TV appearances in the 1960's. It is the Martha, Rosalind, and Betty lineup that most people recognize as being the most famous. Also you say Betty missed shows but that is not what Martha writes in her book. Martha states that Betty was dismissed by Martha because of a personal clash between the two mostly regarding a mutual boyfriend.

    Why was Martha Reeves given the privilege of putting her name before the Vandellas, the more I read about the music industry, the artists, I can't help but wonder, if these artists who are still living do they regret entering this Business, of course we must keep in mind during this era 😔😥 and even today, African Americans had to do what ever it took to at least try to get out of poverty, since opportunities to acquire some wealth for African Americans was unattainable for the majority who sought after it, sadly 😔😥 for those who made it successfully, only to fall into drugs, alcoholism, or victims of a crime, sometimes ending in Death, this is more common today more than it was many decades ago, especially with Hip-hop, Rap music artists dying so young during the nineties to the present, it's quite obvious this Business is so toxic, and there are many who enter into it, just cannot handle the rigorous work it takes to maintain their own success.
