Motown's Martha Reeves Wins City Council Seat
DETROIT -- The Detroit City Council just got a bit more groove.
Legendary Motown Records singer Martha Reeves is in line to be a member of the council. With 99 percent of precincts reporting Wednesday, Reeves came in eight place for one of nine seats.
Reeves got 5.6 percent of the vote. Reeves said she wants to be a voice for the people who think their opinions don't matter.
Her goals are to eliminate the city's debt and bring new ideas to the city that she's seen elsewhere, like riverfront development and free parking to attract businesses.
Reeves also thinks Detroit's Motown music past should be better represented.
In addition to her new post, Reeves plans to continue her singing career.
With her group, Martha and the Vandellas, Reeves has scored such classic hits as "Dancin' in the Street," "Nowhere to Run," "Jimmy Mack" and "(Love is Like a) Heatwave."
