Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Natural Resources' was released in September 1970, Martha and the Vandellas were transitioning from their earlier Motown hits to a more mature sound. This album came as the group's commercial peak was waning, following their successful singles in the 1960s. It marked a shift as they explored themes of love and social consciousness in a rapidly changing musical landscape.
