Heat Wave is a real classic. Martha Reeves could have gone on to record many more classics, but I think she had a drug problem and who knows what other problems. There are more tragedies in the music biz then success stories.
I think "Heat Wave" may have been the first Motown song I thought was really great. I loved that saxophone and the excitement in Martha Reeve's voice.
It's too bad the business of entertainment takes so many people down. It's gotten so nowadays you hear about a celebrity with a drug problem and you shrug your shoulders, "so what?" It's a cruel business.
