Martha Reeves, along with Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard, were Marvin Gaye's back-up singers, on stage and on his first three releases, before they broke out on their own to record some of Motown's most memorable hits. With such classics as “Heat Wave,” “Jimmy Mack” and the group's unforgettable signature anthem, "Dancing In The Street," Martha Reeves and the Vandellas have left an impressive and indelible mark on soul and pop music in the past 40 years. This track, “Watch Your Back,” is from Martha’s self produced 2004 release, "Home to You".
