Martha Wash is a bona fide powerhouse blessed with an unmistakable swell of a voice. As one half of The Weather Girls (formerly Two Tons O’ Fun), she’s created deeply soulful, utterly riveting dance tracks that made the world move with reckless abandon—see 1982’s timeless Hi-NRG romp “It’s Raining Men”. She’s also brought her fiery, boundless effervescence to hits by others. To wit, hers is the immortal voice shouting “Everybody dance now!” on C+C Music Factory’s biggest hit. But it’s as a solo artist that Wash’s musical dexterity is on full display as she belts it out over heart-pumping house, mood-making R&B and, yes, flamboyant disco.
