Upcoming Martha Reeves Fundraiser in Plymouth, Michigan

[milven]

... honouring the Vandellas would be the right thing to do. Is she obligated? No, but it would be the right thing. Her fame is very much tied in with the Vandellas, despite having had a career after the group ended....

Her solo career consisted mostly of carrying on the legend of the group. Her legacy is the group. When i was a teen, i was buying all those records by Martha and the Vandellas and never even was aware of the name Martha Reeves back then. The star should say MARTHA AND THE VANDELLAS. Even the PLATTERS and THE SUPREMES have the groups original names on their stars. They don't say DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES or TONY WILLIAMS AND THE PLATTERS.

And after reading all this financial stuff about the stars, it no longer seems like that much of an honor if they have to pay for it themselves. It brings much publicity and tourists to the city. Its a no brainer as to who should pay for it

Even the biggest legends of music and acting haven't gotten it or have refused a star. Prince, Madonna and Whitney Houston are just a few of the super legends that have refused one albeit for different reasons but yeah having a star is sometimes not that it's all cracked up to be.
