    Roz and Betty each have little solo moments in this live appearance on TV. They also, all three, sing in close harmony on this number, something they did do now and then, to great effect....

    This is great news. Martha has had to wait so long for her "propers", so I hope it is a triumph for her. I also fervently hope she can raise the necessary $$ for her Hollywood star. I'm sure she...

    Just to add my feelings of loss to those recorded here. A true giant has passed away. I certainly agree about the Marvelettes`cover of Message to Michael. There are other exellent Motown covers of...

    I did meet her, late one evening after a concert in Bournemouth. It was February 1971, and they were all three in furs. Sandy was tiny, very sweet and smiling [[even though she was tired). She, Lois...

    I have heard the same story about the beautiful Sandra Tilley. I was lucky enough to see Martha, Lois and Sandy perform live in 1971, and they were briliant, graceful and stunningly beautiful. The...

    The Beatles' cover of Please Mr Postman is valid, and good, but doesn't replace the Marvelettes' original.

    What a brilliant and rightfully respectful thread dedicated to one of the greatest singers of all time, Levi Stubbs. A voice of operatic emotional and dramatic power and a person of true character...

    Quicksand every time for me - Motown's very own wall of sound! It's a killer track, a classic stomper, and pure Martha and the Vandellas. I can see them dancing round their handbags right now!

    I agree wholeheartedly. Martha is so "for real" - no diva behaviour from her, ever! Witness her warm, generous behaviour when she and four Vandellas were inducted in to the Rock and roll Hall of Fame...

    New Martha Reeves website?

    Martha seems to have a new website - https://www.marthareevesofficial.com/
    It's very colourful, and perhaps linked to the campaign to get her a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. There is a clip to...

    Brilliant detective work Calvin! This begins to make more sense now, although the issue of I'm Ready For Love remains a puzzle. Socked in - a new expression for me! A great video though and worth...

    Thank you Reese. Very helpful, and of course you're absolutely right about the recording of the Live! album - about 18 months after this performance.

    I should also have remarked how beautiful all...
