Martha Elaine Wash Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Martha Wash (born December 28, 1953) is an American R&B, pop, soul, and house singer/songwriter with a career spanning over five separate decades. Known for her distinctive and powerful dramatic soprano voice., Wash has been dubbed The Queen of Clubland due to her ongoing success in the genre with six Dance songs peaking at number one on the American Billboard Charts and a further three Dance songs peaking at number two.
Her Weather Girls song "It's Raining Men" was ranked #35 on VH1's 100 Greatest Dance Songs while her controversial vocal lending to C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" landed on #9.

She was in the midst of a big scandal in the early '90s, as she claimed that the C&C Music Factory didn't credit her for vocals on their #1 hit "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." It was Wash's rich, shattering voice that turned "Everybody Everybody" into a smash for Black Box, but she wasn't featured in the video. Wash, who is overweight, was invariably replaced in the songs and videos by lip-syncing models, and was forced to resort to legal action to get a proper share of the royalties for her work.
