Rosalind Ashford-Holmes
1995 Inductee Rosalind Ashford-Holmes first began singing with Annette Sterling as the Del-Phis in 1957. When they joined forces with Martha Reeves in 1962, they became known as the Vandellas, a fiery girl group with an unyielding R&B edge. Martha and the Vandellas went from singing back-up on Marvin Gaye sessions to becoming Motown royalty with dozens of unforgettable hits including “Heat Wave,” “Nowhere to Run,” and their signature song, “Dancing in the Street.”
