"Sugar 'N' Spice" is a soul album released by Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas on the Gordy (Motown) label in 1969. The album was released during a troubling and downward time for the lead singer, Martha Reeves, who was now heavily addicted to painkillers. Often, the singer went into nervous breakdowns that led to a rare stint at an institution. The modest R&B hit, "Taking My Love (And Leaving Me)" is featured on this album, which was the first album for new member and former Velvelettes member Sandra Tilley with additional vocals accompanied by The Andantes and Syreeta Wright.
