Working as a secretary at Motown paid off big time for Martha Reeves. In need of background singers at a recording session, she was called upon to back up Marvin Gaye on his songs, “Stubborn Kind Of Fella” and “Hitch Hike.” Soon thereafter she became a Motown star herself. Martha Reeves and the Vandellas’ “Heat Wave” and “Dancing in the Street” are two of the most popular dance songs of the sixties. “Dancing in the Street” along with its picture sleeve, released on Gordy Records in 1964, is worth up to $250.00 today.
