Here's a clip I remember from way back when on, I believe, "The Midnight Special" - Barry introduces Martha as a surprise guest! Dr. Reeves looks trim, fit, and fine!!

don't think I've seen this since the original broadcast, Martha does look GREAT.Musta been '76/'77? Thanks for posting.
Great research; thanks! I remember watching the original for Barry, and was SO surprised and delighted when he announced Martha! Way back then a surprise could really be a surprise. Manilow was on Arista and Dr. Reeves' [[superb) Arista LP 'The Rest Of My Life' was a '76 release so I assume there was a tie-in. Know anything more?
I know Barry and his back-up singers Lady Flash used to do a Vandellas medley in their show. I particularly remember them doing it on SOUNDSTAGE.
Later, Martha appeared as a solo on THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL when her THE REST OF MY LIFE album was released. She sang the title track and a hits medley.
Wow,martha looks real good.
I didn't know Martha Reeves was a "Dr." - what is she a doctor in?
Great to see! Wasn't Martha done with Motown by this time?
TomatoTom, according to Wikipedia, "Reeves received an honorary PhD in Humanities on November 25, 2012, in Detroit." Not sure from which institution. Roberta?
