Martha with Roz and Nettie
I know Martha has been touring the globe with her Vandellas [[I saw them about a year ago and honestly thought they were fantastic, especially Lois) and I know Roz and Nettie work with Tonya [[Tanya?) and tour as the "Original Vandellas", but am wondering: does anyone know why Martha doesn't tour with the originals? I'm guessing it's for financial reasons [[?) but how many groups can you think of [[besides the Velvelettes) that have all of the original members still working? It would seem that Martha would be able to get more $$$$$ if working with Roz and Nettie?
And since I'm on a Martha, Roz, Nettie kick; does anyone know who owns the name Vandellas? How is it possible that two competing groups are out there? Can Martha call anyone she wants a Vandella, as Delphine, to my knowledge, was never "signed" as a Vandella. I'm just curious to know how that works?
I wish we could see more of Roz and Nettie. They both seem to be lovely ladies.
