    ▓        Artist Information :This is one of those famous overnight    ▓
    ▓        success stories: Martha Reeves was secretary for             ▓
    ▓        Motown songwriter William Stevenson, and when the            ▓
    ▓        regular backup singers failed to show for a session, she     ▓
    ▓        and her friends were pressed into action, backing Marvin     ▓
    ▓        Gaye on "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" and "Hitch Hike." Next     ▓
    ▓        thing you know, they were topping the charts with "Heat      ▓
    ▓        Wave," and the rest was history. The story's not false,      ▓
    ▓        just exaggerated: the rise to fame was a bit slower than     ▓
    ▓        that. Reeves and her group (then called the Del-Phis)        ▓
    ▓        had been singing professionally for a while, and had even    ▓
    ▓        cut an obscure single for Chess Records subsidiary           ▓
    ▓        Chess-Mates. Still, it was a surprise when the Vandellas     ▓
    ▓        had three big hit singles in 1963 - at that point, they were ▓
    ▓        Motown's premier girl group, getting the pick of             ▓
    ▓        compositions by hit factory Holland-Dozier-Holland.          ▓
    ▓                                                                     ▓
    ▓        But as Motown rose to dominate pop radio, the Vandellas      ▓
    ▓        soon slipped into the shadows. Why? Three nonconflicting     ▓
    ▓        theories: 1. Berry Gordy, blinded by Diana Ross's charms,    ▓
    ▓        lavished all his attention on the Supremes to the detriment  ▓
    ▓        of other acts. 2. Once the Supremes demonstrated their       ▓
    ▓        crossover appeal with a couple of #1 pop hits, Gordy         ▓
    ▓        decided they were the most lucrative option, and he sent     ▓
    ▓        the best material their way. 3. The Vandellas just didn't    ▓
    ▓        quite fit Gordy's vision: somewhere between the smooth       ▓
    ▓        sophistication of the Supremes and the gritty soul of        ▓
    ▓        Gladys Knight & The Pips, they just didn't stand out enough. ▓
    ▓                                                                     ▓
    ▓        Despite being relegated to back burner status, though, the   ▓
    ▓        group did run up an impressive bunch of hit singles through  ▓
    ▓        1967, when changing tastes forced the girl groups to adapt   ▓
    ▓        or perish. At around the same time, Reeves seems to have     ▓
    ▓        lost most of her vocal power - I don't know if this was a    ▓
    ▓        stylistic choice, a physical change, or what. Reeves         ▓
    ▓        eventually left Motown for a solo career, struggled          ▓
    ▓        through various personal problems, and is still touring      ▓
    ▓        to this day, sometimes employing her sisters Lois and        ▓
    ▓        Delphine as Vandellas.                                       ▓
    ▓                                                                     ▓
    ▓        Martha Reeves-Martha Reeves-MCA RECORDS-1974                 ▓
    ▓                                                                     ▓
    ▓        One of several 70's reclamation projects where white         ▓
    ▓        rockers tried to revive the careers of soul and R&B          ▓
    ▓        greats. This time an all-star cast, headed by producer       ▓
    ▓        Richard Perry, cut boogie-woogie versions of rock            ▓
    ▓        (Van Morrison's "Wild Night") and R&B (Gamble/Huff's         ▓
    ▓        "Power Of Love," a single) tunes for Martha Reeves to        ▓
    ▓        sing. The whole project smacks of condescension to           ▓
    ▓        me, and the horns/organ groove gets monotonous,              ▓
    ▓        but I could have gotten past all that if Reeves had put      ▓
    ▓        more into her vocals: in stark contrast to her belted        ▓
    ▓        early 60's hits, here she's bland and tentative, staying     ▓
    ▓        in the middle of her range. The tunes recorded by other      ▓
    ▓        Motown artists suffer most by comparison - "Ain't That       ▓
    ▓        Peculiar" and "I've Got To Use My Imagination" (hits for     ▓
    ▓        Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight respectively) weren't          ▓
    ▓        made to be sung politely. The high points are the tunes      ▓
    ▓        that get a gospel treatment, with subtler instrumental       ▓
    ▓        backing and the Avalon Carver Community Choir on             ▓
    ▓        backup vocals: Carole King's "Dixie Highway" and             ▓
    ▓        Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers To Cross." Musicians              ▓
