Another great addition to the Cathedral City’s LGBT Days 2017…
Martha Wash’s unmistakable voice has been capturing the hearts of millions of people around the world for decades. The two time Grammy nominee is responsible for some of the biggest-selling, most beloved pop and dance hits in music history, and it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the irresistible charm of her astonishing répertoire. Think of her legendary backup work as part of Two Tons Of Fun for Sylvester’s disco classics, such as “(You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real”. Remember how you celebrated the unrestrained joy of “It’s Raining Men”, where she performed as one half of the Weather Girls. Recall the sizzling heat of her powerhouse rendition of “Gonna Make Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”, the highlight of C+C Music Factory’s career and a number one pop smash. Re-live that feeling of rapture you felt from her performance on the Dreamland album by Black Box, which featured three Top 40 Billboard hits, including “Everybody, Everybody”. Is it any wonder today that Martha is considered the very heart and soul of dance music?
But make no mistake—Ms. Wash’s reputation isn’t just built upon the past. She has remained one of the world’s most in-demand vocalists and continues to command the attention of millions of fans, far beyond the confines of vintage dance music. After establishing herself as a celebrated solo artist with the release of “Carry On”, another number one Billboard dance hit in the early ’90s, Martha released a string of hits that made her one of club land’s most enduring and prolific vocalists. The award-winning duet with Jocelyn Brown, “Keep On Jumpin’”, and the glorious anthem “Catch The Light”, paved the way for Martha to ignite the dance floors of a new generation.
