Rosalind "Roz" Ashford-Holmes (born September 2, 1943) is an American soprano R&B and soul singer, known for her work as an original member of the Motown singing group Martha and the Vandellas.
[1] Developing a passion for music, she joined the glee club and mixed choruses while attending Wilbur Wright High School.
Choosing the name Martha and the Vandellas, the group signed to Motown in September 1962 and issued what had been intended as a demo recording for their first single.
With Kelly, the group continued their success with signature songs "Dancing in the Street", "Nowhere to Run", "I'm Ready for Love", and "Jimmy Mack".
Since then, she and Annette have continued to perform often billing themselves as The Original Vandellas with lead vocalist, Roschelle Laughhunn; rarely reuniting with Martha.
