How was it for you and what made it all tick?<\/strong> <em>eamonmcc<br \/><\/em>William Stevenson discovered me after I had won an amateur contest. It was like a dream come true that a producer would come and approach me and say, \u201cYou have talent, come to Hitsville, USA.\u201d I took his advice and showed up the next day unannounced and was immediately placed in a position as secretary [at Motown Records]. It felt real good that I was at the right place at the right time. It was magical to me and it\u2019s all been just a glorious ride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Motown production line is sometimes compared to the production line of cars in Detroit. Is there anything to that, do you think?<\/strong> <em>mesm<br \/><\/em>Motown and Ford are synonymous. My dad worked for Ford and [Motown founder] Berry Gordy worked there as an employee. It taught Berry Gordy the way to represent and how to manage and how to give people assignments. He called it Motown or Motortown. So, it\u2019s all combined: Motor City, Detroit, manufacturing, making music as an assembly line.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2026\/jun\/26\/reader-interview-martha-reeves-motown\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2026\/jun\/26\/reader-interview-martha-reeves-motown\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\">Read More<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/3995fa01d4455381a87f79109a2bc200fe9f7c1f\/1102_0_4178_3341\/master\/4178.jpg?width=140&amp;quality=85&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=max&amp;s=d6e6a4c848cebfb5b7437e7a67c44b1a\" title=\"\u2018I can out-dance Bowie and Jagger!\u2019 Martha Reeves on Motown, Dancing in the Street and smashing crockery with Dusty Springfield\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now 84, the voice of Heat Wave and Jimmy Mack is releasing a new album.
