J.Edgar also wore dresses in private ( rumour has it ) so maybe, secretly, he wanted to be one of the Vandellas and was just jealous?

Martha and the girls hit #2 in Billboard, 10-17-64. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

J Edgar Hoover thought the song was written and performed to advocate violence,"Dancing In The Street". He was paranoid.

Martha sure could belt 'em out...really great tune..makes you wanna dance!

It's so strange looking at this and remembering how segregated things were. I am not sure but looking at those ugly white girls i think this show was in English.
Whatever, i think that the message got through because the 60's came together for a while anyway.
Peace

@corringhamlad .....I have hunted EVERYWHERE for the Ronettes' spot on "Ready, Steady, Go!".... (3 Jan 64)
You would think it would be out there? I thought maybe you had a complete set of RSG videos and might have it? Paul / Texas

This song has an energy you don't really see in music today. I think it may be because of the live instruments.
You're welcome
