Martha Wash Remixes

Martha is a legend in the dance music industry, and most people don’t even know it. I grew up with her voice on numerous dance records, without even knowing her name or her face. And there’s a simple reason why… her ability to carry a note was considered more important than her image. You might think that’s a positive note, but however it was the image-blasting greed that kept her hidden in the shadows.

The 80’s was the birth of house music and the MTV music video channel. The two seemed to coincide in a culture war where a good song had to have a top notch model representing the voice behind the song. So this inspired musicians to create music with real vocal talent but misrepresent that voice with fake lip-synching presenters (e.g. Milli Vanilli). Therefore, groups like Black Box and C+C Music Factory began using demo recordings sung by Martha Wash (one-half of the original duo The Weather Girls), and then placing a fraudulent front-woman into the corresponding music videos and concerts. Without giving Miss Wash her due credit at the time, I might add. Luckily, all has been revealed and she is recognized and honored for her outstanding contributions to the dance music genre.
