  • Dancing in the Street”--Martha and the Vandellas (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Dancing in the Street”--Martha and the Vandellas (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell Martha and the Vandellas Erudite music critic Dave Marsh has called it, “As pure a product of its day as anything Dylan or the Beatles ever imagined.” The song is “Dancing in the Street,” written by William Stevenson, Marvin Gaye, and Ivy Jo Hunter and recorded by Martha and the Vandellas in 1964. Since its release in July of ’64 (it would reach #2 on the Billboard pop chart by September), the song has gone on to become one of Gordy/Motown and pop music’s most definitive works and a powerful anthem, sometimes in spite of itself. The Martha of Martha and the Vandellas is Martha Reeves. She was born in Alabama in 1941 and raised in Detroit. She began singing with her friends Annette Beard and Rosalind Ashford, as the Del-Phi’s, while still in high school. They cut their first records in 1960. But stardom was not, at that time, in the cards. Not long after, however, and after Reeves briefly pursed a solo career, Reeves became the secretary to Mickey Stevenson, an exec at Detroit’s renowned Motown Records. Legend has it that, one day, label founder Berry Gordy, Jr. needed some backup singers for a session then in progress. Knowing of Reeves’ recording ambitions, he called her and her friends, Beard and Ashford, into the studio. The trio of ladies would end up singing back-up on two Marvin Gaye records, “Stubborn Kind of Fellow” and “Hitch Hike.” Under the moniker Martha and the Vandellas (a hybrid of Detroit’s Van Dyke Street and singer Della Reese’s first name), the revived group also quickly recorded their own single, “I’ll Have to Let Him Go.” Liking the end results, Gordy signed the group to their own contract in September 1962.

    ----~------------------------ - This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu REMARKS OF SENATOR BOB DOLE INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM ASSOCIATION MAYFLOWER HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D.c. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1985 THANKS VERY MUCH, DAN, FOR THAT GENEROUS INTRODUCTION. LET ME BEGIN BY EXPRESSING MY GRATITUDE FOR THIS AWARD. BEFORE I CAME OVER HERE, I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH INTO THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S CAREER, ESPECIALLY AS A PLATFORM ORATOR. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN HE WAS SHOT IN THE CHEST DURING THE 1912 BULL MOOSE CAMPAIGN, HE INSISTED ON DELIVERING A TWO-HOUR SPEECH BEFORE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. AFTERWARDS, THE DOCTORS FOUND THAT IT WAS THE FOLDED UP MANUSCRIPT -- ABOUT 80 PAGES LONG -- WHICH SLOWED THE BULLET BEFORE IT COULD DO MORTAL DAMAGE. SO THERE YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE EXAMPLE OF WHERE LONGWINDEDNESS SAVED SOMEONE'S LIFE. FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE, IT'S MORE LIKELY TO SHORTEN LIFE. Page 1 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu - 2 - WHY DO WE REMEMBER ROOSEVELT WITH SO MUCH AFFECTION? CERTAINLY, FEW MEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC EVER ENJOYED THEIR TIME IN POWER MORE. FEW GAVE OFF A MORE EFFORTLESS IMPRESSION OF COMMAND. FEW CONVEYED WITH SUCH ELOQUENCE THE COMBINATION OF PERSONAL VALUES AND A NATIONAL VISION. IT WAS, AFTER ALL, THEODORE ROOSEVELT WHO INSISTED ON THE PRESIDENCY AS THE GREAT "BULLY PULPIT" OF POPULAR DEMOCRACY. AND FEW MEN, BEFORE OR SINCE, HAVE OCCUPIED THAT PULPIT WITH SUCH GUSTO. AS A REPUBLICAN, I ALSO THINK OF ROOSEVELT AS, IN MANY WAYS, THE FATHER OF MY PARTY IN THE 20TH CENTURY.

    Biographical Description for The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History with Rosalind Ashford Holmes PERSON Holmes, Rosalind, 1943- Alternative Names: Rosalind Ashford Holmes; Rosalind Ashford; Life Dates: September 2, 1943- Place of Birth: Detroit, Michigan, USA Residence: Detroit, MI Occupations: Motown Singer; Motown Singer Biographical Note Motown singer Rosalind Holmes was born on September 2, 1943, to John and Mary Ashford in Detroit, Michigan, although her parents separated when she was very young. As a child, Holmes sang in church choirs and learned how to dance in local centers, and in high school, she sang in her glee club and mixed choir. In 1957, Ashford auditioned for and mixed choir. In 1957, Ashford auditioned for Edward “Pops” Larkins at the local YWCA in Detroit. Larkins was in search of a new girl group to compliment his already established male group. Rosalind, along with Annette Beard, Gloria Williams, and Martha Reeves, became The Del-Phi’s; they performed at the YMCA, YWCA, high school functions, teas, lawn parties and private events. In 1961, The Del-Phi’s released “I’ll Let You Know” on the Chess Records label subsidiary Checkmate. The record was unpopular, and two follow up records also failed to bring attention to the group. In 1962, Williams left the group, and the remaining trio became Marvin Gaye’s background singers on singles like “Stubborn Kind of Fellow” and “Hitch Hike.” In September of that same year, Motown president Berry Gordy signed Reeves and her background singing partners to the label as Martha and the Vandellas. Just one year later, "Come and Get These Memories" became the Vandellas’ first hit single, reaching number six on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart.

    ARTÍCULOS CIC. Cuadernos de Información y Comunicación ISSN: 1135-7991 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/ciyc.69514 Las caras del soul: géneros musicales e imaginarios dinámicos1 Josep Pedro2; Begoña Gutiérrez-Martínez3 Evaluado: 20/05/2020 / Aceptado: 28/05/2020 Resumen. En este artículo estudiamos los géneros discursivos a partir de su relación con la música popu- lar. Desde una perspectiva pragmática, abordamos la evolución histórica del soul en relación al movimien- to afroamericano por los derechos civiles. Con el objetivo de examinar las transformaciones del género y su imaginario entre las décadas de 1960 y 1970, realizamos un análisis socio-semiótico a partir de dos ejemplos paradigmáticos: la canción “Dancing in the Street” (Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, 1964) y el disco What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye, 1971). Estas obras concretan y figurativizan un imaginario dinámi- co que cambia en relación con la experiencia social y política de la comunidad afroamericana en EE.UU. Asistimos a la puesta en escena de las caras del soul: una alegre y esperanzada; otra herida y melancólica. Palabras clave: género; música popular; imaginario; soul; cultura afroamericana. [en] Faces of Soul: Music Genres and Dynamic Imaginaries Abstract. In this paper we study discourse genres based on their relationship with popular music. From a pragmatic perspective, we approach the historical evolution of soul in relation to the African-Amer- ican civil rights movement. In order to examine the transformations of this music genre and its imagi- nary, we undertake a socio-semiotic analysis based on two paradigmatic examples: the song “Dancing in the Street” (Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, 1964) and the album What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye, 1971).
