Page "Martha and the Vandellas" Paragraph 9

Motown struggled to find good material for many of their acts after the exit of Motown contributor and Reeves ' mentor William " Mickey " Stevenson in 1967 and Holland – Dozier – Holland in early 1968, but after their former collaborators left the label, the Vandellas initially continued to find success with the Richard Morris produced singles " Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone " ( US # 25 ; R & B # 14 ) and " Honey Chile " ( US # 11 ; UK # 30 ; R & B # 5 ) added to their already extended list of charted singles.

In the summer of 1968, the group joined The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops and Marvin Gaye in performing at the Copacabana though much like albums from the Four Tops and Gaye, a live album of their performance there was shelved indefinitely.
