  Dancing in the street by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas 1964 (yes 1964). 

In the late 80s Martha Reeves was reunited with the original Vandellas, and her roller-coaster carrer had come a circle. Being from Detroit, where she was born in 1941, it was perhaps inevitable that she should have graduated to the Motown label, initially as a secretary, occasionally as backup singer, notably for Marvin Gaye, then as singer on demos of new Motown songs, and ultimately credited singer with the Vandellas. This song was written by William Stevenson and Marvin Gaye and was a huge it in 1964. Try this CD Martha Reeves Dancing in the Street /Charly Holdings Inc., 1993)
