Format: CD digipack
Cat. No.: LR147CD
EAN– CD: 8013252914720
One of the top “girl groups” of all time (and Rock & Roll Hall of Famers since 1995) Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, dominated the female side of Motown of the mid sixties, although unlike the Supremes, led by the breathy and demure Diana Ross, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas had a stronger, more soulful sound, which made top ten hits into Holland-Dozier-Holland. This classic 1965 release is one of their best full length albums because not only does it feature the hits, but true to it s title, it is also packed with Motown dance standards of the day like "Mickey s Monkey", "Hitch Hike" and “The Jerk”. So just press play and get ready to get down!
“
From the outset, Martha Reeves voice possessed an earthy, direct quality that distinguished her from other female singers…Her voice bore the righteous fervor of gospel and the flinty edginess of rhythm & blues, which, combined with Motown s stylized pop-soul approach, made for a compelling package.” – Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
