Martha Reeves/ Dancing in the Street

12/31/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This release from K-Tel features ten tracks by Martha Reeves, five of which are re-recordings of her hits with the Vandellas. Four others are her cover versions of hits by other Motown artists. The disc closes with her rendition of Aretha Franklin's song "I Say A Little Prayer." Needless to say, the re-recordings, however good they may sound, do not quite measure up to the original versions. There's a slight vibrato in her voice that comes with age, and it's noticeable in her performance. This is likely how Martha would sound today if you saw her in concert."
