Question: Have singers Martha Reeves and Michael Stipe both served as councillors in local politics?
Context: Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia-based folk rock band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin.  Joplin brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, catchy melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung"). "Electron Blue" is a song by American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released as the third single from their thirteenth studio album "Around the Sun" on February 28, 2005.  Written by group members Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe, the song features a synthesizer-heavy arrangement.  Its lyrics describe an electric hallucinogenic drug made of light, a concept which was developed from a recurring dream of Stipe's.  Upon release as a single, "Electron Blue" peaked at numbers 43 and 26 on the singles charts of Ireland and the United Kingdom respectively.  Michael Stipe performed on the "Around the Sun" tour with a blue band painted across his eyes as a reference to the song, his personal favorite from "Around the Sun". Nona Reeves (ノーナ・リーヴス) is a Japanese Pop band founded in 1995 by musicians Gota Nishidera, Kensuke Okuda and Shigeru Komatsu.  The name Nona Reeves derives from the surnames of Nona Gaye and Martha Reeves.  In 1996 Nona Reeves released their debut album "SIDECAR" under the independent label Giant Robot a division of Under Flower Records.  In 1998 Nona Reeves released their first major single WARNER MUSIC after joining the Warner Music Japan label. Natural Resources is a soul album released by Motown girl group Martha Reeves and the Vandellas in 1970 on the Gordy (Motown) label.  The album is significant for the Vietnam War ballad "I Should Be Proud" and the slow jam, "Love Guess Who".  The album marked a return from lead singer Martha Reeves, recovering from a time in a mental institution after an addiction to painkillers nearly wrecked her (though it still took her until 1977 to beat her addiction).  This was the next-to-last album for the Vandellas, whose success had peaked in the mid-1960s. Martha Rose Reeves (born July 18, 1941) is an American R&B and pop singer and former politician, and is the lead singer of the Motown girl group Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.  They scored over a dozen hit singles, including "Come and Get These Memories", "Nowhere to Run", "Heat Wave", "Jimmy Mack", and their signature "Dancing In The Street".  From 2005 until 2009, Reeves served as an elected council woman for the city of Detroit, Michigan. John Michael Stipe (born January 4, 1960) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, film producer, music video director, visual artist, and philanthropist.  He is best known as the lead singer of the alternative rock band R.E.M. from their formation in 1980 until their dissolution in 2011. Martha and the Vandellas (known from 1967 to 1972 as Martha Reeves and the Vandellas) were an American vocal group who found fame in the 1960s with a string of hit singles on Motown's Gordy label.  Founded in 1957 by friends Annette Beard, Rosalind Ashford and Gloria Williams, the group eventually included Martha Reeves, who moved up in ranks as lead vocalist of the group after Williams' departure in 1962.  The group signed with and eventually recorded all of their singles for Motown's Gordy imprint. The Hartlepool Post is an online newspaper and forum serving Hartlepool and the surrounding area.  It has an average of 50,000 monthly visitors to its site and 9 contributors.  The paper opposes the whipped system of party politics in local Government and support Independent Councillors.  Most of its content therefore relates to local politics and is often critical of the whipped parties.  New sister sites for East Durham and Teesside are expected in 2013. The Civic Party was a pro-business political party in Cork city in Ireland from 1945 to 1966.  It was a continuation of the Business Party of the 1930s, supported by the chamber of commerce, and also attracted three outgoing Fine Gael councillors among nine candidates in the 1945 elections to the 21-member Cork Corporation (now Cork City Council).  Two of those three were successful, as were three others, including Liam de Róiste.  The party had links to the Knights of Columbanus.  As the Dáil Éireann parties became more prominent in local politics from the 1950s, the Civic Party went into a slow decline, although Valentine Jago, a Methodist businessman, served as Lord Mayor of Cork for the 1957–58 civic year.  The party secured three councillors from 11 candidates at the 1950 elections, two from seven in 1955, and one from eight in 1960.  In 1963, the electoral law was changed to empower the Minister for Local Government to divide Cork city into multiple local electoral areas.  This was done in 1965, with areas of five and six seats instead of one 21-seat area.  This disadvantaged smaller parties, and in 1966 the Civic Party dissolved itself.  Jago later joined Fianna Fáil. "Honey Chile" is a 1967 single by Motown girl group Martha Reeves and the Vandellas on the Gordy label.  This was the first single to bill Martha Reeves by her full name, as opposed to simply "Martha" and the Vandellas.
