"The GRAMMY Museum welcomed GRAMMY-award nominated artist and Motown legend Martha Reeves to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening including a conversation celebrating her career and music.
Martha Reeves has made her imprint in the history books and in pop culture for her string of hit Motown songs in the 1960’s and early 1970’s including such hits as “Dancing in the Street”, “My Baby Loves Me”, “Come and Get These Memories”, “Nowhere to Run”, “Quick Sand”, “(Love is Like a ) Heatwave”, “Jimmy Mack” and “Bless You”. Martha was front and center as the lead singer of the legendary Motown girl group, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s Martha recorded as a solo artist releasing a handful of critically acclaimed albums on the MCA, Fantasy, Phonarama and ARISTA labels. Her first solo album in 1973, the self-titled classic was produced by legendary record producer, Richard Perry.
2023 marked Martha’s 60th anniversary of her first two albums with Motown both from 1963, Come and Get These Memories and Heat Wave. Late 2023 and early 2024 Martha was in the recording studio working on a new album with a release late hopefully in late 2024 or early 2025. This was Martha’s first new music in over twenty years. Martha also received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame sometime in 2024.
