Betty Kelly (born September 16, 1944), also known as Betty Kelley, is an American singer most noted as being a member of the popular Motown singing group Martha and the Vandellas.
Betty Kelly, formerly of the Velvelettes, was brought in shortly afterward to continue the Vandellas' rise. The next two singles, "Live Wire" and "In My Lonely Room" (#6 R&B Cashbox) were less successful singles, failing to reach the Pop Top 40.
Another switch was made, to Martha Reeves and the Vandellas (Gordy's idea, not Martha's), and of the three, theirs seemed cursed from the outset. Betty Kelly's relationship with Reeves had been touch-and-go; she departed and was replaced by Martha's younger sister, Lois Reeves.
