Free Music Review: The Ultimate-And Best-Collection!
Hit: 5 Stars
There is not a single bad song on this CD. It contains all the favorite titles that made Martha and the Vandellas such a fantastic girl group. The clarity is first rate. I pop it into my CD player whenever I feel the need to groove along to some of the best music around.
If anything, this CD brings home the fact that Martha and the Vandellas, along with other top female groups like the Shangri-Las and the Supremes showed the world that the gals could provide all-male groups with some stiff competition.
If you like Martha and company at all, you cannot go wrong by purchasing this fine and truly Ultimate Collection.
The Ultimate Collection Poster
Considered by some pundits as having played second fiddle to the lofty mainstream success of Motown's Diana Ross and the Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas (initially Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard, who was replaced by Betty Kelly in 1964) had a grittier sound that may not have given them the same kind of pop following accorded label founder Berry Gordy Jr.'s "pet" group. But as this 25-track compilation demonstrates, former Motown secretary Reeves and her cohorts hardly languished in obscurity. Rather, the team--with the assistance of Motown producers like Mickey Stevenson and the formidable Holland-Dozier-Holland trio--provided the musical soundtrack for the '60s with such classics as "Heat Wave," "Dancing in the Street," "Nowhere to Run," and their first hit, 1963's "Come and Get These Memories." While it doesn't have every one of the group's 24 charted hits, this collection includes all of their major smashes, some notable B-sides ("A Love Like Yours," "Forget Me Not," "Motoring," and the much-loved "Third Finger, Left Hand"), and some interesting obscurities, such as 1970's "I Should Be Proud" (a poorly disguised Vietnam protest) and "Tear It On Down," the group's final chart single. A perfect, essential overview of one of Motown's most prized and admired female groups. --David NathanPop Music CDs
