Sandra "Lois" Reeves

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sandra Delores Reeves (otherwise known as "Lois" Reeves; born on April 12, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American soul and R&B singer most notable for being the younger sister of Martha Reeves and the member of her sister's legendary group, Martha and the Vandellas. She replaced member Betty Kelley as a member in 1967 and was with the group during the last years of their Motown tenure until 1972. Between that time, she helped the group score hits including "Honey Chile", "I Can't Dance to that Music You're Playin'", "Sweet Darlin'", "(We've Got) Honey Love" and "Bless You", which was their last significant hit before the group initially disbanded in the beginning of 1973. Today, Lois and her sister Delphine perform with Martha on one of the two incarnations of the Vandellas who are performing together. Because of her contribution to the Vandellas' string of hits in the 1960s with "Honey Chile", Reeves was inducted alongside her sister, Kelley and original Vandellas members Rosalind Ashford and Annette Sterling to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
