Biografia:
Martha and the Vandellas foi um grupo formado pela Motown no anos 60. Martha Reever, Annette Beard, Gloria Williamson e Rosalind Ashford fundaram um grupo chamado The Del-Phis em 1960, posteriormente lançando um compacto mal-sucedido como The Vels. Reeves, então secretária na Motown, foi chamada para gravar em 1962 depois que Mary Welss não apareceu para a sessão de estúdio. "I'll Have to Let Him Go" tornou-se o primeiro compacto de Martha & the Vandellas.
