WHY is Martha Reeves being honored with a SOLO Walk of Fame STAR ?
WHY aren't THE VANDELLAS being included ?
It's not like she had any major hits WITHOUT them…in fact, she didn't have ANY !!
ALL of her hits were WITH The Vandellas !!
WHO is behind this farce, anyway ?

Bill G - this page is for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you're talking about the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is a completely different thing. There are stars there for groups, but I think it tends to mostly honor individuals, and its criteria and procedures are very different from the RaRHoF.

Anyway, they WERE inducted into the Rock Hall as a group.
