I was born and raised in Detroit Michigan, graduated from high school in 1961. I did not attend college. After graduating, I began hanging around Hitsville studio so much my mom signed a contract and we began recording as Martha And The Vandellas the rest is history. First recording, we sang background behind Marvin Gaye on a tune, "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow". I have always been a background singer; never thought of being a lead singer. I love doing the harmony that we background singers harmonize so well on, love listening to background vocals. I have had the oportunity to travel almost all around the world entertaining in the States and across the sea. My most exciting trip was Japan and Korea where we entertained the troops. I love to travel.
