For the benefit of those who have never seen these videos [[including me), Martha Reeves is sounding great in this 1974 MCA-era live TV performance on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert TV show performing "Ain’t That Peculiar", "Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things", and "Power Of Love". [[YouTube video courtesy of Caroline DeBoursetty)

And while we’re at it, here is some marvelous and rare video footage of Motown-era Martha & The Vandellas [[Martha, Betty, & Rosalind) lipsincqing "I’m Ready For Love" and "Jimmy Mack" on Robin Seymour’s Swingin’ Time TV show. Note, the video quality is very spotty, but, historically, it can’t be beat! [[YouTube video courtesy of Rare Vintage Films)

"I'm Ready For Love"

"Jimmy Mack"

Also from what looks like the same Robin Seymour episode, Martha & The Vandellas performing "My Baby Loves Me".

These here clips prove once again that Dr Martha Reeves IS the First Lady of Motown Records imo.

Thank you for sharing these gem with us Philles/MotownGary.

Yours, with every good wish.

You’re welcome, demotown guy. It made me smile, too! There just aren’t enough vintage Motown videos of Martha & The Vandellas to suit me. And there are even fewer videos of Wanda Rogers & The Marvelettes. When ya come across one, you’ve gotta savor it.
