Here's Jeanie Tracy, Martha Wash and Charlene Moore doing their Ladies Of Disco tour and singing Dance (Disco Heat.) Great to see these gals keeping this music alive. Both Jeanie and Martha sang back-up with Sylvester, and went on to have a string of solos hits. I got to know Jeanie when I used to do Southern Decadence in New Orleans, where she's a regular. She told me one of my fave stories. When she first starting singing with Sylvester, they were rehearsing Dance (Disco Heat). Martha stopped

Shining a light on Martha Wash on her 69th birthday 🖤 As a musical powerhouse, she has made indelible contributions to the world of music and especially house music. Whilst she initially gained fame as Sylvester's backup singer before co-founding duo the Weather Girls, in the early '90s, her powerful vocals dominated dance hits. You can hear hear her vocals in some of the biggest house tunes such as Seduction's "(You're My One and Only) True Love," Black Box's "Strike It Up" and C C Music Facto

In 1990, Martha Wash took on the music industry after her powerhouse vocals were used on hits by C C Music Factory and Black Box — while thinner models lip-synced in the videos. Her lawsuits exposed the industry’s image obsession, fatphobia, and misogynoir, and forced new standards requiring proper on-screen vocal credits. Known as one-half of The Weather Girls, Wash became “the most famous unknown singer of the ’90s” — until she fought back. Her victory didn’t just secure financial settlements

Wash sued and eventually settled the case, which led to a legal requirement for mandatory vocal credits on music videos and CDs in the United States. Credit: Paramount | History In Pictures
