The WEATHER GIRLS: Too FAT for Fame? + Izora's Sad Ending | Ti Said What Ti Said Old School Scandal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Do you know the singing duo called The Weather Girls? Did you know that they performed under two different names before they became The Weather Girls? They were called Two Tons o' Fun and Two Tons. Disco singer Sylvester gave them their first break. Though they were as talented as could be, they didn't get many more breaks that did them justice. There seemed to be more focus on their weight than their amazing vocals in the 1980's, but the ladies still managed to be successful...but not as successful as they deserved to be. Do you think that they were shut out of some spaces because of their weight and size?

Did you know Izora has a son in Oakland that sounds just like k-ci Hailey and a granddaughter that sounds like Gladys
Love this group
Take for instance the song "And I'm telling you" you can't find a skinny woman who can sing that song better than Jennifer Holliday and she was a BBW
@@theogberkeleygirl I didnt know that thandi for putting me know about that.

Martha Wash was and still is everything ⭐💜 Whew her voice..Black box was sued by Martha for 1.7mil. For using her voice on their album without her permission! & Had The Audacity to have the skinnygirl lypsynch...she won her settlement 💜💜
I always wonder about that case
@@Smoooochies yeppers 💜💜💜
C & C Music Factory too used her voice without her permission.
@@kellybowden4701 Yup..sure did!💙
Worth her weight in gold!
Whitney Houston said Martha Wash is a beautiful woman with a beautiful big voice. I agree you can't deny her voice and face....
Martha is beautiful and her voice is phenomenal. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, B Gill!
@@TisHotMessHistory Yeah Martha is beautiful, but to much beauty on the face and all over.
I didn't know two white men wrote it's raining men😳❤️
We don't need Whitney to tell us that,we can see iT ourselves.
@@cressapellom4205 Martha's history is what it is...fortunately she found Sylvester in her way that already knew rejection and gave her the chance of her life...but the bottom line here is she would've gotten much further in her career had she controlled her weight better. Singing voice has nothing to do with weight. Living proof of that is Whitney Houston herself. You can be skinny and have a big voice. Martha was born to sing and lead not being just another background singer. Proof of that are the amount of hits her vocals helped to secure over the years and that are nowadays absolute classics.
Martha Wash Duo With Luther Vandross On His Song " I Who Have Nothing " Is A Classic Song .
It is a BEAUTIFUL song! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Eric Younger!
I never heard that I'll google that and listen
Love that song!
Had Martha and Izora lost that weight, they would not have been the same. I love both girls voices!! Spectacular!!! R.I.P. Izora.
They definitely both had (and Martha still does) amazing voices!
When Izora does her solo on “You are my friend” I still get emotional when I hear it
Martha Wash sang lead vocals for C&C Music Factory's (Everybody Dance Now), and never got credit on the album, or got paid for using her voice, if u watch the video, you'll see this thin attractive model, singing over Martha's voice, Martha was never in the video, I believe she got her lawyers after them.
Exactly! And I think she won her lawsuit
I remember this! They got busted not long after Milli Vanilli but it wasn’t as nearly as big a scandal. And it soured me on mainstream music - it’s all fake and manipulative😤
I’m a new subscriber 🥰🥰👋🏽
Martha won a million dollar settlement for them using her voice
Martha Wash sang the hell out of the bridge on Rebbie Jackson's 'Centipede'.
yes yes she did all the high notes MJ wanted the best for his sister and he got it .
I always loved Martha's vocals. It was frustrating that she was never fully acknowledged for her work with other groups in the 90's, like Black Box.
Martha's voice is just amazing. The amount of work that she did that went uncredited is ridiculous, Ladybug.
But she was. She sued & won lawsuits which changed credits given in/on videos for all forever
All credits were changed after she won on all the videos and albums after she won.
The more you know.
Martha Wash was also the voice of C&C Music Factory Everybody Dance Now. She settled with them. David Cole the producer of C&C Music Factory was suppose to produce an album for her but me died. Martha just couldn't get a break.
😭🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♂️
Michael Jackson was a genius in many ways. "Centipede" will always have a special place in my heart. The song always brings chills up my spine. And the Weather Girls added that special sauce to it. R.I.P. to both Michael and Izora.
Centipede was sung by Michael's sister Rebbie. Michael sang background .
Debbie Jackson centipede
Rebbie
@@gwendolynmurray8201 Michael Jackson WROTE 'Centipede'.
@@gwendolynmurray8201yes, but it came out later that Martha Wash was featured on the song, esp when Rebbie couldn't produce the same vocal prowess
I learned so much! Unfortunately black women can't be mediocre like other races. Black women have to work harder.
I'm so glad that I could share something new with you. I generally agree with your statement, but there are exceptions to black women being able to be mediocre. Sometimes they can be if they are deemed to be extraordinarily beautiful. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Lisa Affect!
@@TisHotMessHistory the ratchet stereotype is less than mediocre.
@@iceprincess825 I'm not referring to rachet stereotypes. For instance, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air replacement for Aunt Viv. Mediocre. And perceived to be pretty.
@@TisHotMessHistory so she was allowed to be mediocre because of her looks?
Used To. Now, Practically Everybody Really Known Is Mediocre. Lol.
I almost became singer... Until I learned the harsh truth about the industry! Mad love and props to them for representing us big women with talent!! Also Lizzo
I agree with all that you said but I don’t think Lizzy can sing at all.
@@1dbhsa Have you heard "Cause I Love You"? The girl got pipes.
Lizzo is no where near as talented as these ladies.
Izora voice is in my top 10 of all time. Not to mention shes amazing vocalist So much range for a deep heavy voice. Amazing breath control , a beautiful tone and always on key. Now that I know she played piano it makes so much sense.
She blows the hell out of her piece in I got the feeling and Just Us and You are My Friend. I miss all three; Sylvester, Martha and Izora! Thank you guys for the Wonderful years of entertainment.
Both martha and izora are amazing singers and when both sang together it was out of this world martha has one of the best voices i have ever heard
I think Martha Wash has one of the greatest female voices of all time. It's kind of sad to think that nearly everybody on the planet has, at minimum heard her sing "everybody dance now", most people don't know who she is. It's a shame, because I think that she was, and still is a very beautiful woman. Today, we have Lizzo and Adele (before she lost all that weight), to look at as heavier women that have found success, but Martha outclassed them both.
Two beautiful women with amazing voices ❤️
I NEVER THOUGHT THESE QUEENS OR GODMOTHERS OF DANCE MUSIC WERE EVER "ONE HIT WONDERS"!!!!
Yesssss the Weather Girls.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 it’s sad the the music industry ostracize big body rather than celebrate the talent. Them women can blow ballparks out. Another one in your video capsule 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you
💯💯💯💯
Yes. The music industry is horrible to overweight women. It's shameful. Thank YOU for watching, Tru Spirit!
You're doing a wonderful job at your commentary on our great entertainers. I appreciate you for humanizing The Weather Girls and helping us to appreciate them and their talent. It's a shame. Ppl tend to see "fat" as not a person. Do you know about a singer from the '60s who walked on crutches? He made a few albums. My mother saw him perform. She said the crowd was so mean because he came on the stage with crutches. They booed at him. He could really sing, too. We can be so cruel and very shallow.
Thank you so much for the beautiful compliments. I truly believe that talented people need to be recognized for their talent. I'm not familiar with the singer you referenced. Do you know his name? Thank you so much for watching and commenting, zheahra!
We Needed That, "It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!!"
I love that song
It really was a great song, Andrea!
It's raining men, AMEN !
In a way you can blame it on the music industry and the optics they started pushing on the music industry, but you can also place a lot of that on the public as well, who started to shift away from talent, and began to focus more on the spectacle and theatrics of performers, above talent, until if you didn't "look" like an entertainer, nobody cared what you sounded like.
Success today is based more on marketing that talent, and that's pretty much across all the arts in the age of the internet.
Do you think the use, popularity, and marketability of music videos, which focused on style, dance, and image, had anything to do with it ?
When I was a kid, I remember hearing and reading that not being able to lose weight, caused Chery Lynn her career. She had a huge hit with a song called "To be Real" so sad.
So that is why she disappeared ?
The song was called Got To Be Real. I have the original 45.
I saw Cheryl Lynn on a exercise infomercial years ago.
@@gwendolynmurray8201 I love that song ❤
"Dance To The Disco Heat" completely won me over to Sylvester and Two Tons of Fun. I had to be on the dance floor when that song played.
I think it was 1980, Martha Wash got a lot of airplay with, "Taking Away Your Space" on the R&B stations in Chicago.
As far as their appearance, I never thought anything about it because people are biologically different having their own natural look at that time, unlike today.
I bet that Disco Heat was a great song for the disco club. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Evanique!
I grew up listening to them and even as a child I didnt noticed their size because I was not taught to be disrespectful. I was taught to have an ear for all genres of music and to appreciate their vocal talents. I really miss these 2 ladies as well as Sylvester the King of Dance & House
They were indeed Sylvester’s legacy. What’s amazing is they were respected for their voices and that was what their fans payed attention to.
IN 2004 I DID A TRIBUTE TO IZORA IN MY HIPHOP DANCE SHOW IN JANESVILLE, WI BY SINGING "IT'S RAINING MEN" BUT COULDN'T GET PAST THE CHORUS "IT'S RAINING MEN" SO THE SONG WAS PULLED OFF THE PROGRAM BECAUSE I KEPT LAUGHING DURING REHEARSAL BECAUSE I KEPT CONNECTING THE SONG TO THE "IN LIVING COLOR" SKIT WITH DAMON WAYANS AND DAVID ALLEN GRIER!
They were beautiful and talented! I really love me some Martha Wash!! Her duet with Luther Vandross, “I Who Have Nothing “ was 🔥🔥🔥. Thank you for the video Ti!! Exceptional work as usual!!
They really were beautiful and talented, William. I love Martha Wash too and I LOVE that duet with Luther. They sound AMAZING. Thank YOU for watching the video and for the compliment. Thank you for coming to the live stream too!
@@TisHotMessHistory you’re welcome 😊
Thank you for this story. It’s so disheartening that the article totally dismissed how talented these women are. This was extremely condescending. It’s sad but this attitude still exists . If women are considered attractive to society standards. We are often overlooked professionals. I will admit it’s not as blunt it’s still there. Sad. Again thank for showcasing two extremely talented and beautiful women.
Thank-you for this video, Ti. These two women will always be sacred hystery!
Martha and Izora are great singers
Martha's face was REALLY PRETTY
Still is
Izora was pretty too; they both were
Why not just say Martha was REALLY PRETTY "🙄🤔js
People back in the day stayed worrying bout somebody weight im not over weight but talent is talent!! Great video❤
I'm with you. Talent is talent and I don't think that it should be overlooked or passed on because of someone's weight. I have never been overweight either. I just don't like seeing people lose out on something they deserve just because of their weight. Thank you for the compliment, Natasha Brown!
@@TisHotMessHistory Well, I Am And It Is Hard As Heck To Lose Weight.
Very informative and unfortunate. All I knew is they had fantastic voices. The fact that Jet made fun of them is indeed, "cringe worthy."
Although I never heard of them, I can believe that folk did make fun of them. Nothing has changed, as certain folk subscribe to making fun of people that they can find or believe they can find short comings and vulnerable traits in. You would think that established individuals that are financially secure and experienced would *find folly in things that are humorous vs this kinda *stuff. As this is the kind of things that wayward and ignorant children goof off on.
I really hate that these girls were not marketed right because they had beautiful voices. I'm glad I got the chance to see them perform live in the early 80's.
Media! When we learn to stop the media from telling us we have to look a certain way, Entertainment will be much better. Way to many Black Female Artist have been dogged about their weight, I can name a lot, but one in particular is "Sybil" she remade "Don't Make Me Over" which she took from a ballad to a dance song, and it was done with perfection.
Gm . To Everyone have a safe wknd .
Good morning, Anna Dimples! You have a safe weekend too!
This is why the late great Vesta Williams had such a problem with the industry. Large dynamic voice just like Cheryl Lynn. Heavy set woman bursting with talent
Oh wooow....THANK YOU for this AMAZING DOCUMENTARY of the Weather Girls! I am the young lady who stepped in those shoes of Izora Armstead. Worked with her before she passed!
Blessings to you!!
That's why Jennifer Hudson's relationship with her son's father disintegrated. He wanted more children and she didn't want to risk gaining weight.
Interesting. I don't keep up with her enough to have known that. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, moonewitch!
Didnt know that however it makes sense especially if you are from a family who are naturally much bigger, store fat easily and are typically bigger when they are older more children makes that harder to maintain
@@Introvertsan Yep, its hereditary
@@Introvertsan wwww×ww
@@TisHotMessHistory You're most welcome darlin! Thank you for the awesome videos!
As all ways, we'll done TI, I would love for you to speak on Jennifer Holiday. You have a great speaking voice, much gratitude.
Thank you for the compliment, Lynda! If I can think of an angle (or if you can give me one) for a Jennifer Holiday video, I'd be open to doing one.
@@TisHotMessHistory perhaps speak to her weight loss and how it impacted her, her fans and the industry. Just a thought.
This is going to be Legendary because these "Goddess of Song" were behind-the-scenes "Taking No Shorts" ( allegedly). Martha Wash was alleged to have "That Mouth-piece" and would cut someone down in a heartbeat. It's alleged she liked her smoke ( Not Mad at that) but no one could sing like that at that time. RIP Ms. Izora A., who literally was this Force of Nature.... I'm so glad these women are getting their shine because "Just Us" is literally One of My Favorite Songs Ever!!!! 2 Women created lead, background, harmonies, melodies, runs, and bridges that no one came close to how Amazing this song sounded.
Someone's excited about this topic!
@@ChefCarter Sho' is!!!! Thanks for noticing.. Come On 11:00😎😁😎😁
@@curtistisdale8150 I've always liked the song, "It's Raining Men." In college my chorale group sang it for a performance. We were an all girl group with women of all shapes and sizes from international backgrounds. We brought the house down with that song!
I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this topic. Thank you so much for attending the premiere. I'm thankful for people like you who appreciate my work, Curtis Tisdale.
@@ChefCarter I'm glad that someone is excited about it! LOL! I need EVERYBODY to be excited!
Why do I always laugh at that Umar clip at the end 😂
Because you have a GREAT sense of humor. LOL! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, KreKre99!
@@TisHotMessHistory you're most welcome. I truly enjoy your content ☺️
These women were the best powerhouse singers and should have been shown the respect the deserve.
I totally agree.
It is funny that you include a picture of Pebbles. Just the other I was in a place where her 80s hit Girlfriend was playing, and all I could think was that she could not sing. I had not heard that song in a long time and had not missed it. It had that cheesy 80s bubble gum pop sound.
That's funny. I actually just realized this year that Pebbles couldn't sing. I won't lie - I like a lot of her songs. But I watch a lot of old performance footage, and I watched her on Showtime At The Apollo. A performance from 1980-something. And she sounded HORRIBLE and she couldn't dance. It was all around terrible. She was singing Mercedes Boy. It's here on RUclips. You should check it out for a good laugh, Vanessa.
@@TisHotMessHistory Something similar happened with Cassie on 106 and Park with her song Me & You
Keke Wyatt is absolutely the beat vocalist in the game. Her career didn’t take off because of her weight.
Thank you so much for posting this. I adore Sylvester and the girls. Always wanted to get more info on Izora, particularly.
Thank YOU for watching this. I adore them all too. Thank you so much for commenting, Ivory The QueenMother.
"Beauty Politics" what a way to put it but unfortunately 😕 it's the truth. Another awesome video, keep up the good work 👍.
It really IS unfortunate. A horrible sad truth that I think will never go away. Thank you so much for the compliment, and I am going to keep getting these videos out every week, Diane Ladybug Hudson!
Love these beauties.. Dance disco heat,you are my friend and just us are my jams!!! You can't have a family get together without that being played. Oh an you are my friend well,that speaks for itself the 3 of them played no games hunny.. Have you calling your bestie cryin and ish🤭
Thank you for this 💎
Lovely video as always Ti. Looking forward to many more.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Martin J! I get these out every week. You'll have a new by Saturday.
THAT'S sad those women COULD SANG and they're beautiful the industry is evil smh
It really is sad. They were SUCH good singers. You are right about the industry. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, DJ Oldsoulkid!
@@TisHotMessHistory anytime!
Back in the 1990's those new jack groups would use Martha Walsh voice for artists that couldn't even sing or speak English! I remember a singer was on soul train lip singing using Martha's voice but couldn't speak during Don Cornelius interview after the song 🤔
It's sad that the music industry is like this first off music is for your ears not your eyes
It really is sad. People with talent should be able to make it in the music industry. Thank you for commenting, Goldie Luxx!
Just Us....Is still one of my favorite songs to this day ...they are so underrated
It really is a great song, and you are so right, can i kickit. They are flat out underrated. So sad.
U forgot that Martha Walsh sang for c and c music factory...sweat.!...they used her voice and tried not to pay her.
I didn't forget it. I mentioned in this video that I will be doing a follow up video on Martha Wash.
Madonna, JLo, Brittney Spears, Camila Cabello, and Taylor Swift.
Ooh-wee! These lists are going to cause some controversy and I love it! I agree with your 5 except for Madonna. But I'm just asking for everyone's OPINIONS, so clearly there is no right or wrong. Thank you so much for coming to the premiere, Collette Daniels!
I’m not a Madonna hater. I just don’t feel like she is strong vocally. Take a bow is still my jam. I feel like the machine behind Madonna contributed to her success more than raw talent.
@@collettedaniels3884 I get what you're saying. Music tastes are going to be all over the place. I love Madonna but I hate Take A Bow. I think that the 80's kid in me likes her because of her fast dance songs in the 80s.
😭😭😭😭 I miss you guys... I love you all and I love the heck outta this video! Im disappointed in JET but not a bit surprised by their article. It be our own ppl. Smh I came on to find the Bernadette video that I missed. They should have been collecting royalties from that one shampoo commercial that boasts, "gonna wash that grey right outta my hair"
We miss you too! How are you doing?
Jet & Ebony have a history of being problematic. Not enough people seemed to catch on decades ago. The Weather Gils couldn't collect royalties on I'm GonnaWash That Man Right Outta My Hair because it's not their original song. The song is from the South Pacific musical from the 1950s.
I hope that we get to see you in a live stream soon, QueenB!
@@TisHotMessHistory oohhhh... ok. I see. Theirs is a sad story, but I love how they loved themselves, in spite of. So much talent overshadowed by stupidity of body shaming. It saddens me. I lost a loved one and on Wednesday a sister friend of mine lost her sister, but God is!!! I hope to see y'all tonight... I hope! Meanwhile, I gotta catch the THE MISS BERNADETTE STANIS broadcast, honey child!!! Lol love y'all and Ti.... you are doing an AWESOME job! Please keep doing what u are doing!
It's raining men is my favorite guilty pleasure song.
I do a mean impression of Miss Izora whenever I sing Make Someone Happy, one of Two Tons biggest hits.
Very cool! You must be a really good singer, Vanessa.
SO THAT'S THE UNFORTUNATE TRUTH ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS!!!!
Love your channel. The best info on Sylvester and The Weather Girls. ❤️
Love that song...it's raining....wild and fabulous!
I used to see Martha wash on drag race as a judge , when I seen her on Sylvester unsung episode I looked her up. Take away your space is where her vocals shine
That beat tho!!! 🔥
Wooow didn't know they sung on Rebi centipede. That was one of my favorite songs back in the day
Nnnnnnnoooowwwww you know that challenge you gave me about the 5 singers i could not do!!! Dammit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You humored me that i couldn't do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome video!! Beautifully done and i hope Martha Wash sees this and give you some love
I'm glad that you liked the video! I'd love for Martha Wash to see this and give me her opinion. She is so amazing. You can still name your 5 women, Sean. LOL!
For me, main problem was image and titles. Like two tons of fun, think big, etc. Its made them attached to their weight too much. Even though it's made them more famous (kinda) its ruined their serious image. Only people who actually listened to their whole albums know how talented they were. Most average but pretty singer I know is probably Taylor swift.
Thanks u for making this video. There ain't no much vids about them and it's pretty sad.
Love ur channel Ti
The problem that you have with them is exactly what I'm pointing out in this video. The industry didn't take them seriously and their size was played up in almost everything they did. It hurt them in the end.
I agree with Taylor Swift.
Thank YOU for watching my video! I'm thankful to know that you love my channel, Shumba Chidawo.
You hit the Arrow on the Bulls eye! They were over qualified singers but their weight, eas discriminated against! Nonetheless they were amazing and i love them still! RIP Izora Armstead im so grateful Martha Wash is still standing strong! I love them! 🙏🌹❤️🙏
GREAT video!! Thank for highlighting these 2 women's talent. Can't wait the Marsha Walsh vid
❤❤❤great video Ti!
Thank you so much Adelina!
I love your background music on these videos!
This was really good..
I'm so glad that you liked it. Thank you for the compliment and for watching and commenting, tradeMarc Fortune!
Just found your channel and is loving it!!! I remember these talented women and the song "Its Raining Men" when i was 5 or 6 yrs old. I loved their powerful voices and danced to the song. Thanks for reminding me of these remarkable ladies and providing insight on their lives and career
Luv the Weather Girls they were a Powerhouse of incomparable Talent and what they did on Centipede was outstanding! ❤️❤️
I was in love with Jennifer Hudson when she was bigger. She's still beautiful, but I started paying attention when she was on American Idol.
Your videos are SO WELL PUT TOGETHER ! I SUBSCRIBED ! Thanks and keep up the great work 👌
Thank you for the beautiful compliment. I will definitely keep up the great work as long as people want to see it. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing, Allan C Ester Jr! I get these old school scandal videos out every week. I live stream a little too. In case you are interested, Oran Juice Jones live streams with us every other Thursday. I hope that you enjoy it here!
These ladies had amazing talent. It's such a shame that the music industry was willing to overlook that talent based on nothing more than their weight. It's just another form of bigotry. The industry and public missed out on their talent being able to grow and mature because it was stunted unfairly before the growth could really begin.
I love your celebrity gossip.. Who would have known all of this inside information. Thank you so much for sharing. Arsenio Hall would be another good one. 😊
Martha looks like my deceased mother! I miss that woman!!!
My condolences to you, Brown Bagz.
@@TisHotMessHistory thank you so much sweetheart!
Everyone in my life that I loved or big women and I miss them so much
Martha wash made some of the biggest hits in music history
I don’t care what they look like, they sound absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Unfortunately talent is isn’t needed when money comes into play….yet another sad truth
And yes they are gorgeous as well❤
As far as weight, look at the way some certain circles treat Lizzo??! And she's wonderfully talented!!!
Thank you for uploading...I really enjoyed watching! I heard Martha and Izora had a falling out and were still not on speaking terms at the time of Izora's death. I'm glad that wasn't the case.
Thank YOU for watching. Like you, I was glad to know that they remained friends. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, ShyeNYC!
That question on how women who were overweight but sing really good only two came to mind. Jennifer Holliday who was in Dreamgirls, the stage play and Kelly Price came to mind. Both started as big women who would later lose the weight. Great artists you may want to do a video on soon.
Strong beautiful VOICES
You are so right! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, IamNinosimone!
These women deserve to have their story done properly and be authentically accurate
People are not aware of this fact, there are many multi platinum hits out there with Martha Wash doing all the leads she just didn’t get the singing credits as was also done in the case of Milli Vanilli.
Another great story Ti thank you!
Thank you so much, ndoresey1969able. Thank YOU for watching!
I LOOOOOVED HIM AS A KID! Cried when he died! And MARTHA NEEDS HER FLOWERS NOWWWWWW! THAT VOICE IS ICONIC! ABSOLUTELY ADORED HER AND IZORA TOO 💗
All of them are forever legends ♥️♥️. The writer of that terrible article was mostly saying " the entertainment was watching obese people dance and singing." Just sicking. How hurtful. The writing of yester year would be shot down now.
This was great! I've always wondered what happened to Izora.
Thanks!
Hi Roberta Clark! Thank you so much for your generous gift to the channel!
What an excellent video & narration & superb psychological profile. This has to be one of the best documentaries on RUclips. Thank you.
Hi wills! WOW! Thank you SO MUCH for your beautiful compliments on my work. I am truly humbled.
Raining men will always be a classic it won't change.
My favorite duo! I listen to "Just Us" regularly. The vocal arrangements are amazing!
Great video on some unsung vocalists. Ps Dr. Umar at the end never fails to crack me up lol.
Good for these ladies. One of them is still currently alive.
WOOOOOWWWW LOVE THIS!!!!

@@modgafr1852 That was Jennifer Hudson
J-lo, Brittany, are two that come to my mind.
I agree with both of those for sure. Thank you for commenting, Benita Nelson!
