today is the 71st birthday of Martha Wash

originally finding success as one of The Weather Girls (of It's Raining Men fame), as disco evolved into house in the 80s, she went with it. she had a number of 90s hits, including with Black Box - and this one with Jocelyn Brown and Todd Terry:

@picard Martha wash is like the House voice. All other house vocalists just wish they could have that instrument. 😄 🔥🔥🔥👏🏾

@cordova5029 nice! thank you! i'd never known she had this solo album til recently, need to check it out, this is great!
@picard the entire, and I mean entire thing is gold on wax, even digital wax, it rocks hard. i Know you usually don't think of house/r&b rocking hard, but this maniges to, it smacks ya in the groove boxes, and the stimmy on her voice feels. SOrry just autistically expressing my love for Martha's incredible instrument :)

@cordova5029 never apologise to me for getting excited about something great! love what you love!

and on that recommendation the album will have to be my next listen! sounds like really my kind of thing! love this kind of stuff 🙂

@picard I knew she did stuff, but likewise only discovered this album in 2019, too many years too late IMO. WHere was this album when I neded it lol. I fell in love in 91 when I was 1, yes, I had good taste in music even in 91, when she did everybody dance now/gonna make you sweat with C&c music factory.

@cordova5029 right? it makes me wonder which other artists released works i've never heard of too 😄 will let you know what i think when i've listened but loved that track, really brought out the power and emotion in her voice.

everybody dance now is a classic too, good taste back then!

@picard Honestly from front to back, it's a generally good listen. i have favourite tracks, but the whole thing is good times. I don't know many albums where I legitimately enjoy all the tracks on it. Usually there's at least one that's a pile of undaulterated donkey shit, but this isn't one
@cordova5029 that does sound great! and likewise, there's usually at least one that i want to skip and feel i have to force myself through, very rare for one to hit with every track.
@picard actually there are maybe? two on it that I don't favour as much, and they are number 2, and the dancin version of just us, cause tis' kind of just a drum loop with little vocal slices in it, and not much else, but it's still fun.
@picard I'm not really a fan of how number 2 is mixed, but her performance is overall just fine. i"m just picky, I don't really like the drum choices for number two, hang on lemme look at the album... so whatcha gonna do. Yeah, not my favourite, but her performance is like I said, justo fino
@picard three gets right into it though, give it to you. That's a jam.
@cordova5029 excellent. i guessed from the titles the other one was a vocal-lite version or something, reckon i'll feel the same as you on that one. won't be able to listen tonight as i have a gaming session shortly, but it'll be on the playlist for tomorrow!
@picard np mate, np at all, enjoy it at your leisure, just know it comes reccomended by a very eclectic, groovecentric person.

@cordova5029 😄

i look forward to it, and thanks for the recommendation, appreciate it!

@cordova5029 she really is top. her voice just brings such a good feeling. love her and Jocelyn both.
