Martha is a legend and deserves more recognition in the music industry she’s a phenomenal artist

Martha's voice is unmistakable you can never duplicate that voice she has it's a power house.

Martha is a beautiful, vibrant woman, and very classy in her responses. She didn’t trash the “model” video substitute singer. In fact, she confirmed her singing ability. When asked why that lady’s vocals weren’t used, Martha replied she didn’t know. A lesser diva would have boasted of the superiority of her own vocal instrument. Martha is too smart for that nonsense.

Her voice is truly iconic.

Look, the woman deserves a comeback and a standing ovation.

why would they hide her she was so beautiful

Pay credit where it’s due!!!!! Martha you rock!

POWERFUL voice man its crazy because they hid how she looks but exploited her voice....today they exploit your look and hide your voice

Martha we remember you for way more than it's raining men! We loved you since Sylvester days ms.

Before Mariah .. before Beyonce ...Martha still holds her... crown !!!....she's the queen of all queens...

Met her at the Arizona Mills Mall back in late 2000s She was signing autographs and took pictures with a few folks. After the event myself and the two others I was with were talking about how amazing she was. Turned out she was standing behind us listening and looked down and said "Babies I'm highly over rated honestly and laughed". A couple minutes later she came back with a tray of food and asked to join us. The answer was simple and it was the best 45 minutes of our life. She didn't talk about herself at all just asked about us and our families. She left us with hugs and smiles. Class, talent, etc. Simple enough!

Martha's voice is unmistakable! She was a staple of 80's music 🎵 and I certainly grew up with her voice booming on my radio and boombox. She is a hero of mine and much respect and love to her!

Martha Wash is a goddess! CC Music Factory Sweat and Its Raining Men are being played in clubs in Singapore in 2019. From halfway round the world with love.

One of a kind voice. Just great singer. Glad you got paid girl.😊💰

Martha deserves every Grammy, Emmy, & BET awards!!!! She should have went way further in her career....she deserves it!

It was very classy of Martha to point out that Zelma can in fact sing. It sounds like she understood where the blame belonged.

I saw a piece where there was a focus on the track Everybody Everybody with Black Box. Here in the UK Martha had a number of hits with them "I Don`t Know Anybody Else. Fantasy and Strike it Up" They were all massive hits too and her voice was never off the radio back then.

The relationship with Black Box was never resolved though. And she gave them 3 number 1 dance hits. She basically had to sue them, get paid and move on.

She sang backup for Sylvester before "Raining Men" a lot of people forget that...also she is the one riffing at the end of Reebie Jackson's "Centipede"

C+C Music Factory added Martha to the roster after the whole debacle but it didn't save the group. Her lawsuit happened around the time Milli Vanilli's career crashed and burned and Paula Abdul was being accused of lip-syncing someone else's vocals. Milli Vanilli might be extreme but movies and albums have been uncrediting artists for years. Marni Nixon is probably the best example of a singer who sung so many well-known songs, never credited and was never a household name. I'm glad Martha Walsh was a part of an effort to make it all more transparent.

Thank God we still have her. Martha's a phenomenal talent, an unsung humanitarian and beautiful human being. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about her. I would love to lift her to the heights she deserves. She certainly has always been on my side. She is my favorite living singer. Oh how I luvah!!!

I heard "It's raining men"in '82 & instantly loved it, then several years later, "Everybody Dance Now", & knew it was sick! Martha Wash is legend !! Awesome

Mind blown, lolletta Holloway, Martha and Sister Nancy's music was just borrowed as if you needed a cup of sugar from you're neighbor, then liberally sprinkled across the 90's dance genre.

This man literally took his glasses on and off 34,570 times during this interview

Thank's Ms Wash !!! I bought that record,cause i knew was your voice. You'r a LEGEND !!.Thank's for the memories.

She made every song she sang on great!!

It's unfortunate that the industry Executives did not want to present Martha in the visuals. Martha's body is responsible for creating that distinct voice. Her lungs, throat,& physical-spiritial-emotional essence is where the vocals came from. To me Martha was pretty when I look back at her younger pictures. But I'm happy that she took the initiative to fight for her rights that she truly deserves.

I don't wonder at all why they chose to use Martha's voice for Sweat. Who else's voice could've made that song the hit it was? Nobody's. She brought the power needed to pull that song off, otherwise it probably wouldn't have even charted.

I stan Martha Wash

This was a huge injustice to the great Martha Wash!!!!!! She deserves all the credit!!!!!!!

LOL [ 3:07 ] "Go Mickey!" I love this woman.

Same thing was done with Darlene Love, she sang on everyone’s albums in the 60s

I LOVE Martha Wash!!!!!!!!!! She is beautiful, and has a voice of an angel!!!!!!!

She is beautiful! Her voice is beautiful not only when she sings, when she speaks too.

Martha has an incredible voice ! Can't believe Black Box, C&C Music Factory would not put her in the videos !

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to brag they got the best voice in the industry? Having Martha on the track is a flex.

I could listen to Martha all day long, she has such an awesome voice.

Martha Wash and Tamela Mann remind me of each other both beautiful.

C & C Music ended up being just another Milli VaNilli until THE TRUE VOICE - LADY MARTHA WASH took HER voice back!! Martha Wash is a HERO for vocalists being scammed. AWESOME VOICE & INCREDIBLE LADY!!

She is such a beautiful lady, if she was in the video I still would've Loved it.

I would love to see a BIO pic about Martha Wash!

Omg, she has a beautiful voice!!! LOve

im glad martha mentioned the aftermath with C+C cos i still bump that classic do you wanna get funky and the vid is sooo cool cos it has both martha AND zelma singing and dancing....

Thank you Martha Wash for setting the record straight! No pun intended.

Thank you!!! If Ms. Wash had sung opera, she would have rivaled Joan Sutherland!! These two have/ had pipes!!

Years Before I ever knew who she was, her voice would give me chills everytime I heard her songs. And I love her more than ever for her great talent!

I knew that voice the moment I heard the tune!! I played it in my head for months.

This was my favorite song in the 90's and I just knew about this NOW! Gotta give you credit Martha for those awesome hooks that led to great dance hits of the decade.

Thank Sylvester for discovering her and Izora Rhodes!

Martha's vocals were used on one of the earliest Seduction records too.

God bless you Martha. Superman and Batman''s mother call name like you. You're so amazing person and singer.

Her voice is undeniable. Good for her for suing their greedy asses. I hope she got paid for how they exploited her in the 90's.

Beautiful and talented!

Incredible talent!

Martha's voice is unmistakable. It's a shame that body image denied her the credit she deserved for a time. I'm very happy everyone now knows the truth and she's getting recognized for her talent.

Martha, so beautiful lady and natural talent. To hell with the impostors. Greetings from Greece my dear.

She’s such a light ❤

Love ya Martha!!!

Amen Martha...Love from Texas...

Class act!

What a powerhouse… C+C produced fantastic instrumentals, but Martha MADE that song with her phenomenal vocal abilities… same goes for Everybody Everybody and I Don’t Know Anybody Else by Black Box.

Love her So much!!!!

I still love her till this very day.

Such a beautiful and talented lady!

They had no right hiding her from the everybody dance now video. We hear her voice, we see her.

Powerful voice I wish they showed people who sing well and quit showing only people because of looks.

I am grateful to finally know the owner of the voice. I always knew singer is the model in that music. Martha Wash you deserved to be recognized for your great vocal and face of one greatest vocalist

She has to be industry legend for 45+ years now i mean she goes back to late 60s early 70s groups have used her vocals

Miss them.. They were awesome

Martha is a QUEEN DIVA...❤️❤️❤️

Martha Walsh is quite fantastic, got performers to be named BUT on CDs. Oh noez CDs!!

Martha is the real deal

i love her so much

I think that she's absolutely beautiful and can saanngg! I would love to sing with her any day!

Her Voice ist with Power.I love her.❤️

"Go Mickey" lmao 😂

Its enough they dont use her face and body give the woman the credit she deserves. She does have a timeless iconic voice

At the time, music videos were mamdatory and were all about the visuals. Unfortunately, C + C decided to use Zelma to lip Martha’s vocals and made a big mistake in doing so. Again, this was just a bad call because everyone involved back then-including Zelma Davis-were all very talented and the rest is history.

Martha i love you!!!!

Martha deserves her credit. She's fantastic!

Uncredited!!!She was the dam song on does hits period!!!!!

I love her

I lovded It’s Raining Menses! 🌧 ⛈ ☔️

i love when he goes to put his glasses on but then he takes them off right away @ 2:04

Martha is awesome. That womans voice has had me praising God and smacking ass. Often at the same time! Im so glad she finally started getting the credit , love and money she has earned and deserved for decades. She is the reason backup singers and co writers get noticed. The biggest wrong was C&C pulling the Milli Vanilli on her with Zelma. They didnt use zelmas voice cause the butch cant speak english. I apollogize for the B word. Zelma is srop dead gorgeous and talented but that thing was wrong. Freedom got screwed too. The man went into the whole gig thinking he was part of the group. Found out he was just punching a clock. They used Freedom and Martha to get C&C on the charts then dropped em. C&C were great producers and incredible at putting groups together but they were out for themselves to hell with the true talent. Freedom is working on some new stuff now. My prayers have been answered. He put down the tool bag and picked up a pen paper and a mic

this lady is the funk

Beautiful and talented lady! She's an inspiration!

They did the same to loletta Holloway -two great voices

did you play at flesh hacienda Manchester. I was there 😍😍... so many years ago.. memories fade... that night was on fire 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

You made those songs great.

Martha você é maravilhosa, amo você, amo sua voz. É uma pessoa carismática, positiva e muito forte, sua presença fortalece as pessoas pelo simples fato de ser você! Martha 💚💛💙🤍🇧🇷 Amamos você ❤🌹

They did her wrong by putting a pretty face (bet she couldn't even sing) that lip-synced to Martha's incredible voice in the music video. It was so disrespectful to her, unacceptable and vile. Martha wasn't a conventional beauty but music isn't about beauties or bodies, it's supposed to be about talent and she's the voice that gave life to that incredible hit. They owe most of the success of that song to Martha.

early 90s was always fucking with the original singers - milli vanilli anyone?

U make me feel mighty real two ton of fun.

For a long time I was calling her Martha Walsh LMAO!

Lol@Burnsey giving the everybody dance now a crack hehe

He is thinking of the other incident [Black Box] and Katrin Quinol. But Zelma can sing

she looks a lot like keke Wyatt ...and they can both sing maybe they are related?

❤️

Well, well, well. Ms Adesina Sanchez. Where have you been all my life? I, I think I'm in love. Awe struck beauty discovered whilst researching my favourite singer Martha Wash.
