Martha Wash About Martha Wash About Martha Wash has a voice that made millions dance. She is a two-time Grammy nominated American R&B, pop, soul, and house singer, record producer, songwriter, activist and music industry executive with a career spanning over thirty years. As one-half of the duo Two Tons O’ Fun – later the Weather Girls – she sang with the legendary Sylvester and recorded the enduring multi-platinum hit “It’s Raining Men.” Wash quickly rose to become the Queen of Clubland, with 13 songs peaking at Number One on the Billboard Dance charts. In the 1990s she spurred legislation that made vocal credits mandatory on CDs and music videos after being denied proper credit (and royalties) for C+C Music Factory’s anthem “Gonna Make You Sweat”, and Black Box’s “Strike It Up” and “Everybody, Everybody.” During this era Wash was the Midas of dance music, with eight songs featuring her vocals reaching Number One on the international pop/dance charts. Wash remains active as a touring and recording artist, and in 2015, she produced First Ladies Of Disco's Top 10 Billboard dance single "Show Some Love", which was released on her own label Purple Rose Records. Highlights 2x Grammy Nominee Billboard #1 Hot Dance Club Martha Wash Day — Washington DC Keys to the City of Miami Beach, FL Aids Fund Lifetime Achievement Award — San Francisco, CA Rolling Stone Magazine Pres Martha Wash: The Most Famous Unknown Singer of the '90s & Speaks Out “Martha's latest album breaks new ground as an uplifting adult- contemporary compilation. The album's title track, "Something Quotes Good," is quite a toe tapper. With only eight songs, the album may not have all the usual gimmicks, bells or whistles, but don't let Martha undersell it. Something Good is really something wonderful.” — Huffington Post “Martha Wash, an industry pioneer. Her new music ‘Something Good’, is a positive, and inspirational album” — Rolling Stone Magazine “Martha Wash Turns It Out on Her Surprising New CD, Something Good”, and as usual, her voice has a purity that's very unique and affecting--she's one of the best vocalists in the biz. The result is really fine stuff that deserves high chart places. — The Village Voice Videos "I've Got You" “It’s My Time” "Everybody, Everybody" "It's raining men” “I'm Not Coming Down” “Carry On” I Migliori Anni (Tony Moran & Deep Influence 26.05.2017 Club Mix) Boking & Info LINDA LEWIS [email protected] leftofcenterproductions.com office: 856.778.3081 mobile: 609.792.6611 Socials marthawash.com facebook.com/themarthawash twitter.com/Martha_Wash PRESS KIT BY PINKBUTTER CREATIVE .

  • Best Gay Songs: 30–21 30
    Best gay songs: 30–21 30 “City Grrrl” by CSS Bad girls and gay boys have always been besties, and this 2011 track from Brazilian combo Cansei de Ser Sexy is a loving ode to that special relationship. Lead singer Lovefoxxx looks back on adolescent fantasies of "being busy with my job and my gay friends, laughing and drinking with my one-night stands" in the "big city." Anyone who's ever felt trapped in a small town (and eventually escaped) will definitely relate. —Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=duOA3FgpZqY 29 “Your Loving Arms” by Billie Ray Martin Most gay dance anthems are packed with drama of both the lyrical and vocal variety. But in 1994, German singer Billie Ray Martin invaded clubland with this icy floor filler that's so calm she almost seems detached. Don't let that near-monotone fool you, though—Martin is a formidable vocalist, and when she finally cuts loose ("Burning inside, burning inside, yeah!"), it's a master class in the art of delayed gratification.—Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVukIhibLYM 28 “Viz” by Le Tigre Before forming her dance-DJ-production project MEN, JD Samson stepped up to the mike as a member of this electro-rock trio. "Viz" (2004), about butch-lesbian visibility, offers an early glimpse of Samson's sly humor and her ability to make radical queer politics into dance-floor fodder. Bandmates Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman join in on the final chorus for a joyous feminist sing-along.—Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMcCNzUyG5I 27 “The Jean Genie” by David Bowie The copper mullet, the lightning bolt across the face—in 1972, Bowie was at the peak of his androgynous alien phase, pushing Ziggy Stardust closer to the sun until he incinerated in a flash.

In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability.
