  12. From a long defunct excellent comprehensive Motown site under artists; 1962: The Vandellas with Martha Reeves is formed as Marvin Gayes' backing Vocals Velvelettes (The), 1962- 1970: The varied line ups have consisted of Carolyn Gill, Mildred Gill, Bertha Barbee, Norma Barbee, Betty Kelly, Annette McMillan and Sandra Tilley. They were backing singers on many of the Motown hits, and their own best known single was the 1965 hit "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'" Anecdotally, my late brother was a Pink Floyd obsessive when I asked him about Doris Troy backing on Dark Side of the Moon (along with Barry St. John, Lesley Duncan, and Liza Strike, contributed backing vocals on tracks) he replied ‘yeah I know her, she’s one of your lot, isn’t she?’ He saw TDSOFTM tour in the early 70’s and knew of backing singer Carlena Williams (of Soulful Drop in the Bucket fame to us)
