Martha & The Vandellas have quite a history with Motown Records. Martha Reeves worked as a secretary for the A&R (Artist & Repertoire) department and also sang backup vocals on various recording sessions. The Vandellas, Annette Beard and Rosalind Ashford, sang backup on several of Marvin Gaye's hit songs. They had an amazing string of hits, including six in the Top Ten and a Gold record for Dancing In The Streets. Martha & The Vandellas were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
