Martha Reeves is the proud recipient of the 2011 MOJO Merit Award whose voice has been acclaimed as "the sound of young America." It was 1962 that Motown's Artist and Repertoire Director William "Mickey" Stevenson first heard the young jazz/blues performer sing. She brought audiences to their feet at Detroit's famed 20 Grand Nightclub singing songs made popular by singers like Gloria Lynne and Della Reese. Stevenson invited her to audition at the new Motown Records headquarters. With her group, the Del Phi's, Martha then recorded "I'll Have to Let Him Go," and subsequently Martha and the Vandellas was born. In addition to writing and recording new music and a busy touring schedule through the United States, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia, Martha recently served a four-year run as a member of the Detroit City Council. In 2007, she testified before Congress on behalf of musicians, session singers and recording artists for better wages and royalties. There is a $40-$45 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
