[@lenhales7842]

Roz and Annette harmonies are TIGHT.. sounding just like they did on original recording. Love it 😍

[@jackanthony976]

Annette did not sing on Dancing in the Street. Annette had left by then and Betty Kelly sang on Dancing on the Street and all the hits thereafter.

[@brodocbetty4856]

Backing vocals are really good, Martha has lost a step or two with her vocals.

[@aarondigby5054]

@@jackanthony976 a full figured Martha Reeves is all I need, she is voluptuous.

[@FASBLAQUE]

However, that's Lois Reeves, her sister on the right side of her. Look again and see the resemblance.

[@garwynoaksunitedneighborsa4112]

WOW! Great clip of legendary Martha Reeves and the ORIGINAL Vandellas! Thanks for posting.

[@jackanthony976]

These are the original Vandellas. But by the time Dancing in the Street was recorded and released original Vandella Annette had already left the group and Betty Kelly replaced her. Betty Kelly is actually better known than Annette as Betty was with the group longer and sang on more hits than Annette.

[@thatgirlteateagang9193]

Love this Group they still look good Cut Up Martha an Van !!!

[@Chutney1luv]

Sing it Martha! Though, her voice is off a few notes; she is still singing! Sounds good ladies!! 👏 🎶 💃 🎶

[@bradly2007]

Legendary ladies of soul led by Martha Reeves looking & sounding magnificent, timeless classic songs soundtrack of our lives over the decades, miss the time music was more real like this...

[@vonb2009]

Wow, I'd NEVER seen that one before! Great find!

[@williammitchell1804]

This group is a legend, and has been around since the 60's. And they are still singing and dancing. WOW!

[@shawnbaldwin1896]

Do it Martha!❤

[@USNAVDC]

The Original Vandellas are Great!

[@manuelesparza1081]

That foxy girl Martha Reeves

[@FASBLAQUE]

Martha Reeves is a lovely human being. Her music always sent me and made me feel something... Soul Power!

[@nycp1969]

I saw the original lineup in 1988. Martha has reunited with them intermittently over the years. These days she is singing with her sister.

[@marvelousmartian5379]

She still had her voice in the 70's so I'm guessing that she must have starting losing it in the late 80's early 90's? I have a DVD with her and fellow Motown singers from 1999 and she was tolerable then. I love Martha Reeves and hate that she lost her gift BUT she still gorgeous in 2022!! Them there eyes!!!

[@lorreerobinson8737]

Motown Classic Legends will forever live on !! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@barbarasmith3579]

Love those harmonys..No where to run!

Thee Classic Legends!!! ☺

[@yedon68]

Gotta love Martha...and the Vandellas..!

[@twilfits]

Still a powerhouse

[@storiking650]

Roz & Annette are GREAT, their beautiful tight harmonies are literally just as perfectly tight as they were in the 60s. Seems like 1 of them shoulda took over the lead bcuz my girl Martha's voice is shot to shit, smh.

[@ronniedamnitz9295]

Be nice! She sounds good! Pouring her heart all those years in her music!

[@I-AM-BELIEVER]

Ikr. Her voice is awful. I thought someone was choking.

[@NOV123]

@@I-AM-BELIEVERchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiile 😂😂😂

[@CarolPowerInnerChildSongs]

Wow!!!

[@Leatherbro]

These girls had soul and raw natural talent. It is tragic that they did not get the attention that another girl group got during that era. If a bit more time and money would have been invested with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, they would have been equally as successful.

[@davidbetsey2437]

Be a real man and say what you really mean and stop beating around the bush, COWARD!💩

[@direfranchement]

Not sure what happened, but by this time Martha had developed a tremor in her voice, like a vocal palsy. She was not very old, I'm not sure what caused this.

[@USNAVDC]

Exactly. Martha got a nasal sound that's totally different than it used to be. I don't know what happened either.

[@storiking650]

YES, that strange shaking almost like a stroke tremor, I love her & her hits but my God she sounds horrendous & she's been like this since the 70s. I wasn't born until Dec. 1978, but from watching videos, it seems whatever this weird affliction is, it started while she was still young, back in the 70s & its gotten worse over time. Makes you wonder if any1 tells her the truth🤷🏿‍♀️?

[@fmtalks1386]

It's not palsy she intentionally started singing like that around this time. I think she was trying to sound jazzy with vibrato. She sounds terrible.

[@jasnina6262]

Drugs affected her voice

[@AlkalineInsides]

Drugs … tough life

[@cdubz265]

Mary was built like a brick house even post Motown

[@LuisSanchez-tf5ws]

Great

[@bubaby7867]

I love Martha but I wish she would stop warbeling the lyrics on the songs she sing.

[@wilsondwight7817]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️

[@divagirl2409]

I know it’s in the 90s

[@josephjamesthefirst9374]

@Miss Tish. The broadcast was done in 1996.

[@ezerlenewatkins9644]

@Tyson23: this is not funny😅😅It is. Just the way you said it😅😅😅 Poor Martha. But she used to really sound good. I don't know what happened. I still play her music, frim come get these memories on!

[@divagirl2409]

What year was this?

[@jduwayne1]

None of them are the original Vandellas….

[@jasnina6262]

Where is elce hardaway

[@calebbaytop9096]

Is that Betty or Annette?

[@tonyrussi7777]

Annette.

[@timfly767]

Her voice should carry a public health warning.

[@1talldaddy]

LMAO.,but the messed up thing about this is how she really felt about Roz and Annette.

[@merquryj]

Work it

[@doconnor1354]

Lost her voice

[@geraldscott4017]

I'll be playing this song every day if Trump loses the election.

That's why I'm here!!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@rovanli1]

We got our wish, not without a lot of BS...

[@stuartjenkins6673]

Marthas voice is terrible.

[@tysona23]

This is awful. Poor Martha. Diana Ross sure had the last laugh voice wise

[@nycp1969]

I don't think Miss Ross would laugh at a colleague. In fact, she has stated that she liked Miss Reeves. I am sure she respected her talent as well.

[@NOV123]

Don’t do that, boo lol
