Martha Reeves "No One There"

[mysterysinger]

2013 Martha pleasing the audience in Leeds by singing "No One There". A highly regarded song amongst UK soulies. Written by Bristol. Goga, Minor, Green and produced by Johnny Bristol and arranged by H B Barnum. I did a search before posting, but ....who knows? God bless Martha - she still gives her all but I struggle at times with that vibrato.

An excellent song from an excellent album

[Graham Jarvis]

Only ever issued as a 45 in the UK in 1971 many would say their best ever!

I've had the pleasure of seeing Martha perform this - and I was thrilled.

Of all the many, many tracks she has recorded this is by far my favourite.

[PeaceNHarmony]

Yes, a top cut/performance all around.

I love her! "Since you did that, then you gotta sing it with me!" Agree sup_fan, an excellent song from an excellent album.

Thanks for finding this. I love this song.

For vibrato, let's not forget this was recorded with a telephone. I saw and heard her live in 2019, she sang this song as well and it was much better than I expected her to do live at her blessed age.
