  • Martha Elaine Wash (née le 23 décembre 1953) est une auteure-compositrice-interprète américaine. Connue pour sa voix distinctive et puissante, Wash a d'abord acquis la gloire en tant que moitié du groupe à succès Two Tons O 'Fun, qui a chanté pour le chanteur de disco américain Sylvester. Après avoir obtenu leur propre contrat d'enregistrement, elles ont publié trois chansons à succès consécutives qui ont toutes atteintes la seconde place des charts dance. Le duo a été renommé The Weather Girls, en 1982, après la sortie du single certifié platine à de maintes reprises It's Raining Men, qui a attiré l'attention du groupe sur la pop. En duo, Two Tons et The Weather Girls ont sorti cinq albums et figuraient largement sur les albums de Sylvester. Après la dissolution du duo en 1988, Wash réussit une transition réussie vers la musique house en tant qu’artiste vedette de plusieurs chansons à succès. Son succès sur le palmarès Dance du groupe Billboard lui a valu le titre honorifique The Queen of Clubland, avec un total de douze chansons numéro un au classement à ce jour. Wash est également connu pour avoir impulsé une loi dans les années 1990 qui rend obligatoires les accréditations vocales sur les CD et les vidéoclips. Cette évolution législative intervient à la suite du procès qu'elle mena après s'être vu refuser les crédits et redevances appropriés pour la chanson classé numéro un et certifiée platine Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) pour avoir été considérée « impossible à vendre » en tant qu'artiste du fait de son poids. En décembre 2016, le magazine Billboard l'a classée au 58e rang des artistes de musique dance les plus titrés de tous les temps. (fr)

The Weather Girls released five albums and were heavily featured on Sylvester's albums. After disbanding in 1988, Wash transitioned to house music as a featured artist on several successful songs. Her success on Billboard's Dance chart has earned her the honorific title The Queen of Clubland, with a total of fifteen number-one songs on the chart to date. Wash is also noted for sparking legislation in the early 1990s that made vocal credits mandatory on CDs and music videos. Starting in the late-1980s, her studio vocals were used in several successful dance songs without her permission or proper credit. Models lip-synced to her voice in music videos and during live performances, obscuring Wash's contributions and hiding Wash's size as a full-figured woman. As a result, she was denied credit and royalties for many of the songs she recorded. This included platinum-selling song "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)". Subsequently, in Rolling Stone, music critic Jason Newman described Martha Wash as "The Most Famous Unknown Singer of the '90s". In December 2016, Billboard magazine ranked her as the 58th most successful dance artist of all time. (en)

Il suo successo nella classifica Dance di Billboard le ha permesso di ottenere il titolo onorifico The Queen of Clubland, con un totale di dodici canzoni al primo posto in classifica fino ad oggi. La Wash è anche nota per una denuncia fatta agli inizi degli anni '90 che ha reso obbligatori i crediti vocali su CD e video musicali dopo che le sono stati negati i crediti e le royalties per molte delle canzoni che ha registrato, tra cui la canzone certificata platino "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" dopo essere stata etichettata "invendibile" a causa del suo peso. Nel dicembre 2016, la rivista Billboard l'ha classificata al 58º posto come artista dance di maggior successo di tutti i tempi. (it)

  • Марта Элейн Уош (англ. Martha Elaine Wash; род. 28 декабря 1953) — американская певица, актриса и продюсер. Известная своим узнаваемым и мощным голосом, Уош впервые приходит к успеху в группе Two Tons O’ Fun, которая вначале карьеры была на бэк-вокале у певца Сильвестра. После получения своего собственного контракта на запись они выпустили три подряд коммерчески успешных песни, которые стали хитами в танцевальных чартах. Дуэт был переименован в The Weather Girls в 1982 году после того, как они выпустили самый продаваемый сингл «It’s Raining Men», который привлёк к ним всеобщее внимание. The Weather Girls выпустили пять альбомов и были широко представлены на альбомах Сильвестра. После распада группы в 1988 году Уош ушла в хаус-музыку в качестве признанного исполнителя на нескольких успешных песнях. Её успех в танцевальном чарте Billboard принес ей почетный титул «Королевы клубной музыки», в общей сложности она имеет 12 песен «номер один» в танцевальном чарте на сегодняшний день. В декабре 2016 года журнал Billboard поставил ее на 58-е место в списке самых успешных исполнителей танцевальной музыки.
