A vocal girl group from the United States called Martha and the Vandellas was founded in Detroit in 1957. From 1967 to 1972, they went by the name Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. With the help of Motown, the group rose to stardom in the 1960s.
Friends Annette Beard, Rosalind Ashford, and Gloria Williams formed the trio, which ultimately added Martha Reeves. After Williams left the group in 1962, Reeves rose to become the main vocalist. The trio joined Gordy, a division of Motown, and eventually recorded all of their singles there.
