@@but531 I completely agree. The majority of music nowadays is just a person talking in quick rhymes with a beat and they make the songs not for art but for the soul sake of money. Music used to have life, uniqueness, and was an artform. Now it just all sounds the same, is complete trash, and the fact that the newer generations like it shows that they dont know any better and are simple minded.
The weather Girls were so unappreciated by the entertainment industry during that time, and sadly today few women who are plus size and can sing their ass off, rarely get the fanfare they deserve. BOTH Martha and Izora are accomplished singers whose roots in the church enabled them to sing ANY song and make it their own. Way before the talented Lizzo, Queen Latifah and other singers , Martha Wash and Izora let it be known that big girls are beautiful and talented.
I agree very much with all you wrote except..."today few women who are plus size and can sing their ass off, rarely get the fanfare they deserve." Are you sure you wanted both the words "few" and "rarely" in there? What you were literally writing there is that today most plus size great singers get appreciated. I don't think so, sadly.
Martha Wash wasn’t under appreciated as she did a lot of vocals for various bands and groups. She just wasn’t given the credit that she deserved for her work. Black Box and Seduction really did her dirty and C&C Music Factory originally made Zelma Davis lip sync in the Gonna Make You Sweat music video but later settled the lawsuit Ms Wash had filed and made sure to include her in their videos.
And they can eat, fat Albert had better run for his life, hey hey hey, it's the fat Albert show, say no more, hey hey hey, where is fat Albert.and the GANG, It's going to be BIG BIG BANGALORE.
How am I hearing this for the first time as an 80's baby. Forget Mariah this is it right here. LOL!! I love it and these women have some pipes they can sang!!
The fact that year after year we are involuntarily bombarded by Santa Baby instead of getting to enjoy this absolute banger is proof we are in the darkest timeline
I absolutely love Martha wash(such a beautiful soprano voice) and Izora Armstead(just a nasty mezzo🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾)!!! Their voices are simply unmatched!!! I wish they weren’t so underrated though.
And play Pengo at the arcade! Hopefully you'll get a new Atari game for Xmas (I heard Vanguard is the hottest new game!) And Star Wars action figures! (Boba Fett is the best!!)
Martha Wash is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard. Not all singers sound pleasant when they “yell sing”. She has a distinctive voice, it’s at Whitney level in ability and recognition. Weather Girls, Black Box, when you hear Martha you know it’s her. Very few singers have pipes with that kind of swag and charisma. She’s THAT B****!

Here we can hear that Martha was the real voice of the group Black Box. Only the first song "ride on time" was sung by Loleatta Holloway. Izora was also great. Love that song. I miss this time so much. 😂❤😊
I know it isnt her but at 3:55 it looks like Goldie Hawn in the window lol. this song is so catchy and the part at 2:38 is amazing vocals. I wish this wasn't just a christmas song, it could have been a good bop all year round.
Incredible singers indeed, but they were also equally incredible musicians. Izora for her part was a classically trained pianist and musical prodigy who played from the age of four and studied at the San Fransico Conservatory of music. Soooooo much talent and beauty!!!!!
I was crying my eyes out of laughter! I can’t finish the video from so much laughing tears! What got me finally is the big black gowns and the intense choreography where they were twirling around! 😂
The bar's been set too high for the girls to challenge but Courtney Act, Alaska and William succeed to bring the song to the children! I am one of those little gay babies XD
The bass the bit the drum sound the singing is so so cool. Man this music is so well made. Very few people understand this style of music. I must suscribe now. You can't undesrstand how appreciate this music. From this kind of music i start to listen music when i was young.
Como he podido vivir sin esta cancioooooooon , OH MY GOOOOODDDDDD!!!!!!!! ITS THE BEST christmas party song eveeeerrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! I lost my head now!!!!!
You can't watch The Weather Girls without a big smile on your face. I just wish more groups had such a sense of humor. They're pretty, too!
Oh my goodness, I'm exactly in this way now, like, girls you understand me.
We will never hear again souch a well made music like 90's and before. Is so sad but it's reality.

And can sang!!
The weather girls are amazing I’m a 15 year old boy and it’s raining men is stuck in my head
How did i forget about this song. The 80's rocked and i was there for it. Merry Christmas 2024.🎄
Merry Christmas to you as well! 🎄
I miss the 80s.
I never heard this before, and I thought I knew all their songs. It's hilarious and fun.
It's snowing men! Hallelujah!
P
it's snowing semen
God bless Father Christmas ! He’s a single woman too!
@@MultiCheeseLouise He took the presents and he did what he had to do.
Haha
I've never heard this before!! OMG! This should be a classic heard every year!
I said the same thing. It is so much fun.
Such a criminally underrated Christmas song
YES!
@@Meow116 ужасно недооценённая группа.... такие голоса и ниодной достойной награды... несправедливость...
This is the best. ❤❤❤❤

@@kenthuang436 and TWG had a much longer career than most due to their popularity in the gay community
Согласен с вами. Жаль, что дуэт просуществовал недолго. Их не ценили. Поэтому оригинал распался. Хотя голоса шикарные.
These Sistas can sing !!!! WOW
You better listen!
That's right
And they can eat, fat Albert had better run for his life, hey hey hey, it's the fat Albert show, say no more, hey hey hey, where is fat Albert.and the GANG, It's going to be BIG BIG BANGALORE.
How have I never heard this until now? This will be on repeat at Christmas!
Right?
R.I.P. Izora Armstead
This is Christmas Holding Out For A Hero
I'm a metalhead and I think I have a new favorite set of singer's.
That's true😂 ,me too metalhead, but this kinda hooked me
Martha's vocal break at 2:40 is the definition of show-stopping - WOW
I know right?!....
Dozer LA What do you mean by this? Is this a good thing?
Christos Celluloidkid yes it's a good thing
That's my favorite part of the song. I just can't get enough of Martha's and Izora's voices in that part.
I know!
Oh my GOD. The voices. The halloween dracula capes. The skinny white girl choir.
I can't see any mistake
All those eighties effects in one video there... the stop motion, the animation, the Jane Fonda exercise dancers, etc... Just love it :-D
Izora voice's amaaaaaaaaziiiinnng!!!!
She's such a queen
Who is Izora?
@@bec2217 Izora Armstead is the one who's not Martha Wash. Rest In Peace to Izora!
@@bec2217She’s the one wearing the lilac colored scarf
Great voices, great song, and great video. Who could ask for more? ❤❤
Two of the most-underrated singers in music history!!
Thank you Willam, Alaska and Courtney for bringing me here! This song is amazing!
Omg me too
Me too! The song reminded me of It's Raining Men, and then I find out it was another Weather Girls song. Cool.
Me Too !!!!!!
Wait whatttt i need to see this performance nowwwww
Izora's voice is a freaking powerhouse
izora sells this song so hard i love it
What absolutely gorgeous women, not to mention their amazing vocals.
2:57
3:04
Oh, I love Izora, what a powerful voice she had
🖤
How am I hearing this for the first time as an 80's baby. Forget Mariah this is it right here. LOL!! I love it and these women have some pipes they can sang!!
Me too!!!!!!!!!!
This is the greatest Christmas song of all time.
The fact that year after year we are involuntarily bombarded by Santa Baby instead of getting to enjoy this absolute banger is proof we are in the darkest timeline
This a whole vibe
my radio station will not play this. I love this song
Oh my goodness, thank you. 🏜🕺🏻🐕🏖🎄
I was today years old when i found out this song existed. My life is changed. Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone.
They were slept on. Esp their vocals. They were very entertaining too!!
Big ladies with big voices! Gorgeous! Love them!
Why you have to mention their weight?
@@macywood4619 Uh oh, activist spotted
I absolutely love Martha wash(such a beautiful soprano voice) and Izora Armstead(just a nasty mezzo🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾)!!! Their voices are simply unmatched!!! I wish they weren’t so underrated though.
Even though I was sick to death of Christmas songs, I heard this . . . and it changed my mind. Fun, cool stuff.
I love their voices.
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED UNTIL TODAY!?!?!?!?!?
IKR
I just found it today and added to my Christmas songs playlist.
EXACTLY. I had no idea. My mind is blown.
it's a christmas specialty
I know right!!
This is Beautiful!! Thank You, Twin Soul Reunion!
The question is, did Santa bring them a man? If so was it men for both of them individually, or just one for them to share?
Alyssa Chisholm They ate him ;(
Spankyjnco I loled sooo hard with this comment XD
+Spankyjnco fuck you
Sharing is caring.
Lolll
Amazing voices
I'm totally gonna go to the mall this Christmas and blast this while in my best 80s workout garb, and go powerwalking. 😂😂😂
Please share your 80s playlist 🥺🥺
Do it!!!!
And play Pengo at the arcade! Hopefully you'll get a new Atari game for Xmas (I heard Vanguard is the hottest new game!) And Star Wars action figures! (Boba Fett is the best!!)

Izora is tearing this song up vocally and I wish that she recorded a blues album.
This should be trending all of December.
Beautiful soulful voices these fine ladies have🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Let's stop singing Santa Baby and start singing this!
***** True. She's a good singer I just don't like that sons mesage haha

One of the best Christmas songs I have ever heard
Lyrics:
Everytime the

close to someone
Someone who cares
Someone who

And hold him
in my arms.....
Hi! (Hi!)
We’re your weather girls (Uh-huh)
And we’ve holiday news for you! (You better listen!)
This is an open letter to Mr Santa Claus (Tell em girl)
For all the single girls at home (all right)

So send him here
I dont think I can make
it through another year
Come on Santa

I need a man
this Christmas
I need a man
Yes I do
to keep me home
Oh a gentle face
A strong embrace
A pillow and a blanket
by the fireplace
Dim the lights down low
and let it snow....
I can almost feel him
Feel his lips touching mine
And darling I reach out
Reach out... reach out...
Reach out...
Ive been a good
girl all year long
I done my best

Come on Santa

Look at me
Im on my knees
Oh bring me a man
Woah, woah

I need a man

The fires out
The chimneys clean
This girls heart is open and

Place him under my tree
Mister C...., this Christmas
I need a man

Come on

Come on

The superior Christmas song
True talent. Love these ladies 💕
Wow these women can rock out
Here we can hear that Martha was the real voice of the group Black Box. Only the first song "ride on time" was sung by Loleatta Holloway. Izora was also great. Love that song. I miss this time so much. 😂❤😊
Great voices.
I Love Izora❤
I love them!
Those ladies could SING!!!
This song needs more sleigh bells
Man, these ladies had some real swag. Wish i was born in the 80s.
Honestly this song is a BOP. I’m aro ace, but it doesn’t stop me from belting it out while driving pretty much all year round!
AMAZING VOICES!
LOVELY!
THIS VOICES REMIND ME THE GOSPEL SONGS
Both girls were gospel singers ...
I love old music very good voice and song ❤️
Great song. Secret wishing is the best. What are the girls for? These ladies are talented and can sing!!
THANK YOU COURTNEY ACT
God they are amazing singers!
I love the Sweeney Sisters style back-up singers.
Wow! The amazing voices!
I know it isnt her but at 3:55 it looks like Goldie Hawn in the window lol. this song is so catchy and the part at 2:38 is amazing vocals. I wish this wasn't just a christmas song, it could have been a good bop all year round.
This song is one of the things I look forward to at Christmas!
Loving the Solid Gold moves!
My new favorite Christmas song
Thank you Todd in The Shadows for introducing this to me
I have a wish for Christmas, I wish an AMAZING voice like "The Weather Girls" ladies.
Kochany Mikołaju (Przynieś mi faceta na Święta).
I found a copy of this 12" on red vinyl the other day , how I LOVE Martha Wash & Izora Armstead xo
Who in 2024? 😇
December 26, 2024
the weather girls are the best group!!!! I rem. when It's raining Men first came out I was nervous to purchase the lp..Because of the title...lol
This is everything!
Incredible singers indeed, but they were also equally incredible musicians. Izora for her part was a classically trained pianist and musical prodigy who played from the age of four and studied at the San Fransico Conservatory of music. Soooooo much talent and beauty!!!!!
12\23\2023! 😂😂😂❤❤❤ I don't need a man, but I'm Jammin Christmas hits, The Temptations, SWV. Ect. 😂
I was crying my eyes out of laughter! I can’t finish the video from so much laughing tears! What got me finally is the big black gowns and the intense choreography where they were twirling around! 😂
i love this
Why have they not done this as a Lipsync For Your Life on Rupaul's Drag Race??
Omg that would have been perfect!
Did you see that Willam, Alaska, and Courtney Act just released a cover of this song? It's on iTunes and is nowhere as wonderful as the original.
The bar's been set too high for the girls to challenge but Courtney Act, Alaska and William succeed to bring the song to the children! I am one of those little gay babies XD
Because drag race is dead. VH1 killed it. It was probably going to die anyway though...
Arlee Dennis It’s clearly far from dead
I wish those days to come back again that feeling and everything was real, with lots of hardworking
4:06 "Santa if you won't bring me a man, I'll just have to wear these dark coats and summon the dark lord to do it"
Lee GaryB 😂😂
Hell yeah!!!!!! Good old fashion big girls who can actually sing! Work!!!
They are just awesome ! awesome....AWESOME !
One of the best holiday songs of all time.
I've been getting into these ladies recently and I love them so much! This and Sexy Ghost just make me smile so big!!
Izora sounds like Emily Harris from bobby jones gospel choir!!!!!! She was so talented!!! Rest easy Ms Izora❤
I love to hear Izora voice
I'm in love with this......
Fukkin fantastic!
