5. Which musical group did Martha Reeves assume the role of lead singer for?
Correct Incorrect In 1957, a trio of friends came together to establish an all-female vocal group. Martha, who became the lead singer, joined the group in 1962. Their breakthrough came with the release of their second single, "Heatwave," which reached number four on the R&B pop charts. Martha and the Vandellas emerged as one of the consistently successful vocal groups of the 1960s. However, commercial success waned in the 1970s, leading to Martha's departure from the group in 1974. Despite their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, Martha and the Vandellas never reunited following the breakup.
