WATCH VIDEO: Martha Reeves

What's The 411TV correspondent and Motown historian, Chuck Whaley, gives us a little bit of insight into the history of Motown when he interviews the legendary singer, Martha Reeves.

As Motown aficionados know, Martha Reeves was the lead singer of the legendary Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.

If you know anything about Motown, you know that one of the Vandellas hit singles that has lived on to this day is DANCING IN THE STREET. And, if you listen very closely, you can hear it playing in the background.

At the end of the interview, you can also hear Ms. Reeves give a shout out to Chuck's daughter, Crystal.
