From Motown to City Council

Martha Reeves, lead singer for Martha and the Vandellas, has announced she's running for the Detroit City Council.

Reeves said the city is dealing with a number of serious problems including blight, abandoned buildings and a struggling public schools system....Reeves, 63, said she wasn't put off by the sometimes volatile nature of city council meetings.

I bet she will. You go, Martha.
