		Along with the Supremes, Martha & the Vandellas defined the distaff side of the Motown sound in the 1960s; their biggest hits, including "Heat Wave," "Dancing in the Street," and "Nowhere to Run," remain among the most potent and enduring dance records of the era.
		The vocal group was led by Martha Reeves who, along with fellow Detroit natives Annette Sterling Beard, Gloria Williams, and Rosalind Ashford, founded the Del-Phis in 1960.
		After singer Kim Weston turned down the Marvin Gaye/Ivy Jo Hunter/Mickey Stevenson composition "Dancing in the Street," the song was shuttled to Martha & the Vandellas; refashioned by Holland-Dozier-Holland to fit the group's formula, the anthem became their biggest hit and definitive statement, reaching number two in the summer of 1964.

		Martha Reeves, Rosalind Ashford, and Annette Beard, all vocals.
		Martha Reeves had a phenomenally powerful voice, and the Holland-Dozier-Holland title track of this album was a well-deserved Top 10 hit: the instrumental backing is so funky that you hardly mind the long delay before the vocals start.
		The recording quality isn't great, often burying the band and the Vandellas so all you can hear is Reeves, and even she sounds a bit screechy ("Jimmy Mack").

		Martha and the Vandellas' first single was "I'll Have to Let Him Go," but the group's first hit was the #29 "Come and Get These Memories" (1963) from the debut LP of the same name.
		In 1965 Martha and the Vandellas had a U.S. top-10 smash with "Nowhere to Run"; the following year they hit with "My Baby Loves Me" and "I'm Ready for Love." During these years, the group often felt that their career suffered because of Motown's heavy promotion of the Supremes, its other major female act.
		Reeves later claimed the Vandellas' 1967 smash "Jimmy Mack" was held back two years by the label because of its similarity to the Supremes' sound.
