Martha Reeves - Searching Martha Reeves

Martha Reeves has made her imprint in the history books and in pop culture for her string of hit Motown songs in the 1960s and early 1970s, including such classics as Dancing in the Street, My Baby Loves Me, Come and Get These Memories, Nowhere to Run, Quicksand, (Love Is Like a) Heat Wave, Jimmy Mack, and Bless You. Martha was front and centre as the lead singer of the legendary Motown girl group Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.

During the 1970s and 1980s, 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. Martha and the Vandellas were Grammy nominated in 1964 for Best R&B Performance for their hit, Heat Wave. In 1999, Dancing in the Street was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

In 2026, Martha will release her first new album in 22 years. The album, Searching, is produced by New Orleans jazz royalty Delfeayo Marsalis and Reeves' manager, Chris Roe.
