Event>>>>> Martha Reeves: "Dancing With The Stars"
Appropriately, Martha Reeves opened the two-hour exciting "Dancing With
The Stars" show with her international #1 hit song "Dancing In The
Street"! That song is the anthem of Motown Records
and it was ideal for a show about dancing! Martha
looked Motown royalty in a full-length gown. The
opening also featured The Temptations performing "Get Ready"
and Smokey Robinson singing "The Tracks Of My Tears".
Tonight was "Motown
Night" -- every dance was to a Motown song! Martha, later in the
show, in a
shimmering silver cocktail dress, performed a bouncy rendition of
"Jimmy Mack" while a couple (Maria Menounos and Derek Hough) danced.
Tonight,
other Motown legends performing -- while a competing couple danced to
the song -- were Smokey Robinson ("Cruisin'", "Ooo, Baby, Baby" and
"Being With You") and The
Temptations ("My Girl", "I Can't Get Next To U", "The Way You Do
The Things You Do" and "Ain't Too Proud To Beg").
There was a surprise intro of a special front-row guest:
Motown founder Mr.
Berry Gordy, Jr. "DWTS" is the popular dance
competition show with celebrity dance contestants paired with
professional dancers. Ironically, one contestant was also
a Motown legend: Gladys Knight!
DWTS's "Night of Motown" concluded with a competitive dance
elimination "Motown Marathon" set to Martha's "Nowhere To Run"!
The show aired 'live' on ABC-TV on Monday, April 23rd with rave
revues and
high ratings!

of Guns n' Roses. The backup singers include Louis Price,
formerly of The Temptations.
Don't miss it when Motown royal and rock royalty meet! The 'live'

Continuing the commemoration of the 50th anniverasary of Motown
Records, the U.S. President Barack held a "Tribute to the Motown
Performers" at The White House in Washington, District of Columbia
(DC), on Thursday, February 24th. As a special legendary Motown
guest of honor in
the front row, Miss Martha was demanded on stage to sing on the tribute
to her blockbuster hit "Dancing in The Street". President
Barack personally
thanked "Miss Martha Reeves"! The chief three original
Motowners for the televised on Public Broadcasting System (PBS) event
were Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves and Stevie Wonder.

Martha Reeves & The
Vandellas: GOLD
Gold Girls: Rosalind Ashford (top), Betty Kelley (left) and
Martha Reeves
"Right-on" to Motown Records for timely issuing "GOLD",
an expanded anthology of Martha Reeves & The Vandellas.
This double compact disc collection has over forty
songs, including all of the MRV single-release songs on Motown's
Gordy record label and a healthy sampling of their popular flipside
songs. "Songs of The Stonewall" included in this set are the
perennial favorites "Heatwave" and "Dancing In The Street", which
appeared, respectively, in The Stonewall Club's jukebox, for a month or
so each, every summer. The regular Stonewall Era songs
digitally-remastered in these two c/d's include: "My Baby
Loves Me" and "I'm Ready For Love" from 1966; "Jimmy Mack", "Love
Bug Leave My Heart Alone" and its popular 'B' side "One Way Out"
from 1967; "Honey Chile", its flipside "Show Me The Way To Your
Heart", "I Promise To
Wait My Love" and its 2-sided hit "Forget Me Not" all from 1968; and
"We've Got Honey Love" and "Taking My Love
And Leaving Me" from 1969. The MRV flipside record songs include
the finger-snapping, line-dancing, Gay-marriage themed "Third Finger,
Left Hand" and the fast-paced, hard-dancing "One Way Out" from
1967 and "Show Me The Way To Your Heart" and "Forget Me Not" from
1968. All were flipside hits at The Stonewall. The
collection is expanded with its hot handful sampling of post-MRV single
songs of a solo Martha Reeves.

Martha Reeves & The
Vandellas: Lost & Found - Spellbound (1962 - 1972)
Purple Vandellas (shown):
Sandra Tilley, Martha Reeves and Lois Reeves
| A long-sought, much-anticipated collection of
an overwhelming majority of never-before released gems and a handful of
real rarities by Miss Martha Reeves and her vandalous Vandellas!
The timeframe spans their legendary dozen golden years at Motown
Records. The songlist includes: "Spellbound" (would have been a
hit single), "All That Glitters Isn't Gold", "Coney Island" (as in
Brooklyn), "It's Your Wedding Day", "Keep Stepping", "For Once In My
Life" (the Motown standard), "Candy Man", "It Must Be Him" (a
1967 specially Gay favorite hit song by Vicki Carr),
"Standing Ovation", "You Neglect Me", and the now (tsunami)
ironically titled "Earthquake"! A few other M.R.V. jewels from
the Motown vaults -- "Contract On Love", "Forever" and "The Tracks Of
My Tears" -- which no doubt would have been included here on
M.R.V.'s "Lost And Found" were rather represented on the other new
2-c/d vintage collection entitled "Motown Sings Motown Treasures".
Another M.R.V. gem "(It's Easy To Fall In Love) With A Boy Like
You" would also have been included; however, it found a much
greener pasture as a featured song in the new Will Smith
blockbuster movie "Hitch!" |
2004
Martha Reeves: Home To You
Miss Martha Reeves pensively pictured "Home-2-Us"
| "The Black Rose"'s eleven songs have nine
written or co-written by the singer and album producer Martha Reeves
herself. The tenth song is the jazzy re-working of one of her
classic Motown "Top Ten" dance songs, "Jimmy Mack", written by the
legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland. So, you can say that all these
years later, Martha is still looking for Jimmy at The Stonewall -- and
a lot of other Gay clubs! Speaking of legends, the eleventh song
is written by the legendary songstress Billie Holiday, who was the
first to popularize the herein inspirational "God Bless The Child
(Who's Got His Own)". |

Watchout! Up front pic, that's movin' Motown Martha
Reeves from 1967!
But, "Who's That Lady" (rather heavy) in the back? Not our Miss
Reeves!
OMG! It's Shoiley
Owens-Alston-Reeves, formerly of The Shirelles!?
Proofreaders Unlimited's Williamson Henderson always said
from day
one that Shoiley's unnecessary name addition of "Reeves" would
eventually cause confusion (which
some suspect is maybe why Shoiley added it)! But this was
the worst scenario: some totally unknowledgeable
neophyte reaching into a messy file jacket in the basement
office at
B.B. King's Nightclub and snatching the wrong "Reeves" photo -- never
consulting with anyone --
and then uh-oh publishing it!
