Martha And The Vandellas were one of the key and most successful of the Motown Girl Groups.
Martha Reeves
was born July 18, 1941 (Happy Birthday Martha!) and I understand she
has recently been voted a member of City Council in Detroit.
The Vandellas consisted of
Annette Beard and
Rosalind Ashford. Annette left the group in 1963 and was replaced by
Betty Kelly, who had been with
The Velvelettes. Martha and The Vandellas were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
Between 1963 and 1971, they had 23 Motown hits on the charts, including one Gold record and six Top Ten singles.
