Martha Reeves and the Vandellas: The Unforgettable Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

In a long overdue ceremony, Martha Reeves, the iconic lead singer of Martha and the Vandellas, was finally honored with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Known for hit songs like “Dancing in the Street” and “(Love is Like a) Heatwave,” Reeves’ contributions to the music industry have left an indelible mark. Prominent figures from Motown, including the legendary Berry Gordy and the talented Smokey Robinson, were present to celebrate this momentous occasion.
