==Awards and accolades== In 1993, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas were awarded the Pioneer Award by the Rhythm & Blues Foundation. Except for pre-Vandellas member Gloria Williamson and Vandellas member Sandra Tilley, all members of the group were inducted to the [[Rock & Roll Hall of Fame]] in 1995, becoming the second all-female group to be inducted. They were inducted by rock group [[The B-52's]], whose frothy dance music was inspired by the Vandellas.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/marthaandthevandellas/articles/story/7250022/96_martha_and_the_vandellas|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060512100734/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/marthaandthevandellas/articles/story/7250022/96_martha_and_the_vandellas|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 12, 2006|title=The Immortals β The Greatest Artists of All Time: 96) Martha and the Vandellas: Martha and the Vandellas |publisher=Rolling Stone}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Oj0DAAAAMBAJ&q=martha+reeves&pg=PA56|title=Al Green, Martha and the Vandellas Inducted Into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame During Gala Ceremonies in New York City|date=January 30, 1995|publisher=Jet|access-date=December 16, 2010}}</ref> Martha and the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street" was inducted into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] in 1999 (they were nominated for [[Grammy Awards|Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group]] for the song in 1964).
