It was 1962 that Motown's Artist and Repertoire Director William “Mickey” Stevenson first heard the voice that would become synonymous with "the sound of young America." He invited Martha to audition at the new Motown Records headquarters, "Hitsville, USA", where she watched and learned, and when the opportunity presented itself, Martha and the Vandellas was born, putting together an enviable string of hits: "Heat Wave," "Quicksand," "In My Lonely Room," "Nowhere to Run," "My Baby Loves Me,", "Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things," "I'm Ready For Love," "Jimmy Mack," and, of course, the Motown anthem, "Dancing In The Street."  Martha and the Vandellas were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

Martha Reeves continues to thrill audiences around the world. Her self-produced 2004 CD, "Home to You" was named one of the year's best by the Asbury Park Press. In 2005, Will Smith mined the Motown vaults to uncover her unreleased gem, "It's Easy to Fall In Love," and included it in the hit movie "Hitch." Also in 2005, Motown released Martha's "Lost and Found" collection. She was featured in the PBS special, "Motown: The Early Years," writing liner notes for the four-set CD package. A "Gold" collection was released in March 2006 and "The Definitive Collection" in 2009.

Most importantly to us in Portland, she discovered and brought to Motown our own Mel Brown!  These will be two very special shows, featuring an extensive list of Motown favorites, and reuniting two of Motown's favorites.
Vandellas was born, putting together an enviable string of hits: "Heat Wave," "Quicksand," "In My Lonely Room," "Nowhere to Run," "My Baby Loves Me,", "Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things," "I'm Ready For Love," "Jimmy Mack," and, of course, the Motown anthem, "Dancing In The Street."  Martha and the Vandellas were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
