The group was allegedly named after a street Martha grew up on and for her idol Della Reese.
In 2005, Reeves won a seat on the Detroit City Council.

She's looks phenomenal for being almost 70.
Nowhere to run to baby

Tiger woods' wife will club you baby

To TMZ Staff: Some Event?
It was the annual Motown Gala which benefits the Motown Museum.
And this year marks Motown's 50th Anniversary!

Thank G*D we got her gambling, chauffer-driven ass off city council here in the "D" (Detroit)! Good riddance!

Resurfaced? She is not a stranger in Detroit. She was on the infamous city council, and she is always in local casinos sitting at the slot machines. I would know, I use to work at one of them.

Martha Reeves was a good singer, but a lousy councilwoman. She lost her bid for re-election here by a large margin. And she had the audacity to demand she be given her city issued car to keep, as a 'courtesy'. Selfish, shallow and simply awful. But a good singer.

Not many among us can claim to be a musical icon during a time when people that looked like her had few rights and liberties
And while most of her peers migrated to hollywood, she stayed down for the so called "D" lending her celebrity to public service in city council...good bad or indifferent I admire her stamina for she is still preforming....what are you doing?

Ugh, she was a terrible councilwoman! Maybe she's a decent person but she was a total b*tch in office.
