Martha Wash’s Journey and Career Highlights

Martha’s musical journey commenced in the late ’70s when she performed with the gospel group NOW (News of the World) alongside Izora Rhodes. Subsequently, they joined forces with disco artist Sylvester, later forming a group called Two Tons of Fun. The duo released their self-titled debut studio album in 1980, followed by another album “Backatcha” before rebranding as Weather Girls in 1982. With the name change came their biggest hit – “It’s Raining Men” – which soared to No. 2 in the UK charts and topped charts in Australia and Europe, also reaching No. 1 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. The group released albums such as “Success” (1983), “Big Girls Don’t Cry” (1985), and “Weather Girls” (1988) before disbanding in 1988. While Izora reformed the group with her daughter, Martha pursued her solo career. She has released three studio albums to date, including “Martha Wash” in 1993, which peaked at No. 8 on the Top Heatseekers chart, and “Something Good” (2013). Additionally, her collaborative work on the song “Show Some Love” with disco vocalists Evelyn “Champagne” King and Linda Clifford added to her success.

Besides live performances and cover songs, Martha Wash has significantly increased her net worth through appearances at various events such as Big Gay Day in Brisbane, Australia, and World Pride in Toronto, Canada. It is worth noting that Martha has never married and does not have children.

In the ’90s, when The Weather Girls disbanded, Martha sued Black Box label RCA for uncredited contributions to the group, ultimately settling the issue outside the court. This settlement not only granted her payment but also led to a recording contract with RCA, through which she released her debut solo album “Martha Wash”.
