SPECTRUM IN BLUE - MARTHA REEVES
M artha Reeves became introduced to Motown Records when, jvust out of high school,
she worked as a secretary in the A A R department. She shortly had formed a female
trio - M artha Reeves and the Vandellas - and one of their very R rit records. “Come
and Get These Memories,'* became a gigantic hit in 1982. Martha's singing received
world-wide acclaim after such hit sensations aa “H eat W ave," “Jimmy Mack,” “Ready
for Love." and. of course, “Dancing in the Streets." The truth is that M artha Reeves
and the Vandellas were one of the brightest stars in the Motown crown.
Naturally enough, sky-rocketing record sales led to an increased demand for
personal appearances by the group. Over the years. M artha has performed numerous
one-nighters in theaters such as the Regal (Chicago), the Apollo (New York), the
Howard (Washington. D.C.), the Uptown (Philadelphia), and Madison Square Garden.
She has also appeared at theaters-in-the-round like the Circle Star in the Bay Area. A
great number of television shows have featured M artha Reeves as a guest, including
appearances on Ed Sullivan. Johnny Carson. Dick Clark. Soul Train. Hullabaloo, and
Speakeasy. She's done commercials for Peai Cola, and has worked on film scores.
M artha was raised in D etroit in a home filled with music and love. She is an active
member of the Church and enjoys participating in religious activities. Her life consists
of spirit-filled personal appearances.
A fter a long career at Motown, M artha moved on to M CA where she did one album,
“M artha Reeves," with Richard Perry, and later did an album for Arista.
M artha Reeves is currently recording for the Fantasy label, with Hank Cosby
producing Hank and M artha shared musical growth at Motown Records, along with
Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Sylvia Moy, to name a few of the
many talents M artha Reeves knows and idolizes.
“W e Meet Again" is therefore a moat appropriate album title, for. once again, this
marvelous musical team of Reeves and Cosby is working together. “We Meet Again”
debuts a new collection of original tunes featuring Mickey Durio, Martha's
accompanist and musical partner of long standing, and Dale W arren, also formerly
w ith Motown and an arranger of gold-record status. “W e M eet Again" is good rhythm
and blues from a prem ier stylist, giving her all and loving every minute of it. M artha
States: “Fantasy is the only company that's ever given me artistic freedom. I guess
thht's what inspired the song*t^ee Again.’
“But what has actually kept mcRping for fifteen years is my early successes with
Motown Records, and devoted fans picking up those M CA and Arista records. And
hard work and a lot of faith. Becoming s newborn Christian was the greatest thing
that's ever happened to me since becoming a mature adult. I think I'd always been
developing a three-octave range, but my singing is better now that I'm saved. I asked
the Lord to use me. A ll praise and glory goes to Him ."
