South West Promoters Hold It Down
are proud to bring one of the original and best loved soul artists of all time to
Barnstaple next April. Martha Reeves and the Vandellas were among the most successful
groups of the Motown roster during the period 1963-1967. In contrast to other
Motown groups such as The Supremes and The Marvelettes, Martha and the
Vandellas were known for a harder, R&B sound, typified by "(Love Is
Like a) Heat Wave", "Nowhere to Run", "Jimmy Mack"
and, their signature song, "Dancing in the Street". During their
nine-year run on the charts from 1963 to 1972, Martha and the Vandellas charted
over twenty-six hits and recorded in the styles of doo-wop, R&B, pop,
blues, rock and soul. Ten Vandellas songs reached the top ten of the Billboard
R&B singles chart, including two R&B number ones. In 2004, Rolling
Stone ranked Martha and the Vandellas amongst the 100 greatest artists of all
time.
Sun 13th April, The Factory Petroc, Oakwood Close,
