Our Switched on Summer Throwback Series continues with \u201cDancing in the Street,\u201d the 1964 Motown hit by Martha and the Vandellas that was co-written by none other than Marvin Gaye. Over 50 years and countless covers later, we explore how this song still manages to get people off their feet and onto the streets\u2014not just to dance, but also to raise their voices in joy, catharsis, and protest.\n\nSPONSOR\nWe use Reason Studios to make music on Switched On Pop.
