This signed sheet music is for Dancing in the Street by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, autographed by the iconic lead singer Martha Reeves. Released in 1964 on Motown’s Gordy label, Dancing in the Street became one of the defining anthems of the 1960s. Written by Marvin Gaye, William “Mickey” Stevenson, and Ivy Jo Hunter, the song was intended as a joyful call to dance, but it quickly took on deeper meaning during the civil rights movement, becoming a soundtrack for both celebration and social change. With its driving rhythm, unforgettable horn lines, and Martha Reeves’s powerful, soulful vocals, the track soared to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and has remained a timeless classic, covered by artists ranging from David Bowie and Mick Jagger to Van Halen. Martha Reeves (born 1941 in Eufaula, Alabama) was the magnetic lead vocalist of Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, one of Motown’s most successful groups.
