I'm so very sorry to hear that Martha's Brother, Benny Reeves, has passed on. RIP Benny.

A little refresher for your information in case you are unaware of his background.

Benny Reeves is a longtime singer who has performed with a host of local groups through the decades, including a brief stint with Motown's Contours in the early '60s.

Thanks for that clarification. Some of us are not as knowledgeable on the Motown family as others. I had assumed he was Martha's brother, since we know she came from a large family, but I did not know anything about his performing career.

Sincere condolences to Martha, Lois, Delphine & the rest of the family. I know I met Benny at their Mothers' house with Martha in like '90. I knew he had done a stint with the Contours but I got the impression he didn't like the music business.

May he Rest in Peace.
