Martha and the Vandellas Live! is a 1967 live album by Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas, recorded live at Detroit's Twenty Grand Club, and released on the Gordy label. Among their legion of hits including "Heat Wave", "Jimmy Mack", "Nowhere to Run", "Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" and "Dancing in the Street", the group also covered a bit of Aretha Franklin in the medley of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" and "Respect" and The Temptations' version of the standard "For Once in My Life".

When it was announced that the group was going to appear at 20 Grand for three nights of recording, public response was so overwhelming that the management of the club was unable to handle reservations.
