It's Baby Boomer girlfriends week here on my baby boomer jams blog. I'm starting out with one of the most successful Motown groups of the 60s. During their nine-year run on the charts from 1963 to 1972, Martha and the Vandellas had over twenty-six hits. Ten of those songs reached the top ten of the Billboard R&B singles chart. Twelve of the Vandellas' songs hit the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Martha and the Vandellas #96 on their list of The Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
I might also add our very own Jaisun McMillian, of Boomer Diva Nation, used to perform with the group---although she wasn't on this recording.
