Instead, Martha Reeves assumes the Motown audition is set for the morning after winning a talent contest at Detroit's 20 Grand nightclub. Fortunately, she impresses A R chief Mickey Stevenson by holding down the phones for him that day, and is hired as a secretary. From then, it's only a matter of time before Martha's talent as a singer shines through. With the Vandellas, she proceeds to make memorable Motown music, including Heat Wave, Nowhere To Run, Jimmy Mack and the song considered to be one of the company's timeless signature songs: Dancing In The Street. • Watch more of The Motown Story: • The Motown Story: Berry Gordy • It’s been 60 years since the son of a plasterer, Berry Gordy Jr., began building what grew into an astonishing hit factory and the most-recognized record company of the 20th century. He did this in America's heartland, away from its traditional music capitals, but the iconic map of Detroit printed in the center of almost every Motown 45 was more than a lesson in geography. The music and artists associated with that city and that company have entertained and empowered millions of people around the world, and have influenced the sound of popular music ever since.
