In a New York minute and with a smile on her face while doing it. A vocal powerhouse in every sense. This is what I call singing in comparison to what you hear nowadays.
I heard this song at the right time about 25 years ago...if ii hadnt heard her voice and those lyrics, i would probably be dead. Thank you Martha Wash.
I've been drawing strength and inspiration from this talented woman for more years than I care to admit. This song is at the heart of that strength. She's all about the love and doing what's right. Sing on, girl.
I stand alone in the Eye of the storm pressures all around tryin' wear me down But I hold tight to what I know what it's right still can hear the way mama used to say "never no, never let your spirit beat never never give in to the end and carry on" Carry on When the valley's deep I'll be strong With a mighty love to carry on, carry on I'll never sleep till the new day dawns I carry on There's a new breeze blowin' tonight Clear away the past Honey, free at last Yes, I've paid for the choices I've made No apologies from me You know I'll never, no Never lose my will Never, never standin' still I'll carry on When the valley's deep I'll be strong With a mighty love to carry on Never sleep til' the new day dawns I carry on Istand alone in the eye of the storm Pressures all around Tryin' to wear me down But it's all right I won't give up the fight I said, "Lord, lift me up!"

Had the distinct pleasure in meeting Miss Wash once in person and she is just adorable, sweet, and utmost kind.... needless to say she is one heck of a singer. A true Great and Living Legend.
I had the pleasure of being friends with Martha's manager Douglas and had 4th of July dinner with them in long island at their home. I actually still live 5mins from them Miss Martha was and always will be such a Diva and an awesome talent. Love you Miss Martha and RIP good friend Douglas. Ossam
I can't believe I never linked your voice to each group in the 90s. So glad I discovered you. Your voice was so iconic. We expect all big gurls to have well developed lungs.
This songs inspires me deeply, I have lost 4 close family member to cancer but I remember my strong loving mother and lover, who always pushed me forward.
Martha Wash's voice is a force of nature its too bad she's always been hidden by the music industry because she's a large woman, they should instead give her the same headlines and exposure they give the skinny little girls that get drooled over that really have no talent at all.
Dude! You can't say that! I know this is a late reply, but that is a really one sided opinion. A lot of thin girls have talent. Quite a few big singers have strong vocals, i agree, but talent has many diferrent aspects.
If there's one industry where large women are appreciated it's the music industry: Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan, Jennifer Hudson (successful before her weight loss), Adele, Tank and the Bangas (you should check them out if you haven't heard of them). And not to mention all the gospel singers!
@@davidb5205 this is today, Martha wash is a singer from 80's it was so different. We're talking the rules for these singers in that decade no the exception. Martha could be more recognized as well.
I stand alone in the eye of the storm Pressure's all around, trying to wear me down But I hold tight to what I know is right Still can hear the way, mama used to say Never!

Martha Wash should be a national treasure. Aretha Franklin is bowed down to & Martha Wash isn't?!! WTH?Martha Wash's entire debut CD should've been number 1 for weeks, debuting there & this song definitely should've been number 1 with Grammy Awards etc. But no she's a plus size woman & the music industry only want rail thin bone skinny talentless nothings! Ms. Wash I'm gonna always support & "Carry On" with YOU sister!
Here in 2024 ❤ One of the most under appreciated artists in the industry. Her music is still in all of my playlists for waking up, taking a walk, travelling, cooking, cleaning, chilling with music, entertaining or just a day at the beach
this song is my galaxy ... console me heal me strengthen me and lift me in joy 💐🎼thanks lady Martha use to blast it while crossing bed stuy brooklyn early 2000 while thug throwing glass bottles at me cause I'm strutting in drag ..still strutting ...never give up to the end 🎶🙏🏾
Lost hope of ever finding someone to work with until I heard her voice again and listened to her powerful spirit uplifting words . Thank you dearest Martha ♥️♥️♥️
What a track, still inspirational and uplifting, leaving the listener focused and more determined to Carry On. This track just got me through many a difficult times when I wanted to give up studying or physically training. The music industry today needs this kind of all inspiring powerful track. More then just a dance anthem. Just awesome.
Huge fan of Rupaul, my mum died 6 weeks ago, I started listening to this a week ago after an episode of drag race, its helping so I will always be grateful for rupaul
I didn't had a mama to tell me don't let this world hurt me or break me. But if she lived to see me I knew she would have been my biggest cheerleader ☺️😔 RIP mommy. If you are an angel I know from I was two you was watching me.
Her song may be titled “Carry On” but Martha is certainly not keeping calm (really, what would be the point of a Martha Wash song where she was keeping calm?). Instead she’s all “WOOOO-AAAA-OOOO-AAAA-HHHH!!!! YYYYY-EEEE-AAAA-HHHH!!!!!” which is exactly how Martha Wash should be. After all, she’d earned it! “Carry On” is a happy conclusion to the previous couple of years of being constantly ripped off by Black Box and C+C Music Factory, after which Martha decided that she WON’T STOP!!! WOULD NOT!!! BE DENIED!!! In other words she sued… all of them! Verdict: she won and got a recording contract! Incredible that she didn’t have one before, of course.

Probably one of the best voices ever placed on this earth.
Her and Jocelyn Brown; forces of nature!
Hallelujah!
Agreed the heart of an artist always shines from spirit more than physical. Martha has it

Love Mrs.Martha Wash Amazing Powerful Voice
Martha's voice gives me chills! It's so powerful. Sit down youngsters cause they just don't make them like her anymore. R.I.P. Sahara Davenport 💗
I feel the same way bout Martha Wash
#Spidey
God damn right.

Without mentioning names, she blows a lot of modern singers away! Wonderful voice.
In a New York minute and with a smile on her face while doing it. A vocal powerhouse in every sense. This is what I call singing in comparison to what you hear nowadays.
This song is too good to be underrated
Shes a national treasure. One of our nations most underrated voices. This song is my mantra when im feeling down
I heard this song at the right time about 25 years ago...if ii hadnt heard her voice and those lyrics, i would probably be dead. Thank you Martha Wash.
Same here, I had lost all hope for myself until I stumbled upon this song. Now I’m here, my senior year, preparing to graduate
@@omarpride3021 god bless u both
One of the greatest voices. A real real singer. A true artist. No gimmick. Realness. Voice voice voice. Singing and soul.
This song is getting me through one of the darkest times of my life.
her voice makes mountains shake. incredible.
This song gets me through whatever life throws it me, I feel powerful! Never lose my will, I'll carry on. Martha is an absolute legend
One of the best voices out there. Martha created the R&B/Dance fusion that swept the 90's.
When asked who was the best singer, Whitney Houston without hesitation said, Martha Wash.
One of the best voices ever.
I've been drawing strength and inspiration from this talented woman for more years than I care to admit. This song is at the heart of that strength. She's all about the love and doing what's right. Sing on, girl.
Martha's vocals are so powerful. She sends chills up my spine! Keep singin' it girl!!
2021 Anyone?
The inspiration in this song, kept me going through my varsity days.
Martha Wash is the vocal blueprint for house music period! MW forever ❤❤❤
Such an amazing talent..... lame ass music business, they did her so wrong.
Phillip W. So so wrong. Just reading her story now. I'm so pissed at what they did to her
Should have been a huge star, it's incredible how many youngsters have never heard of her
One of the GREATEST voices to bless a dance track...Legendary!!
I stand alone in the Eye of the storm
pressures all around tryin' wear me down
But I hold tight to what I know what it's right
still can hear the way mama used to say
"never no, never let your spirit beat
never never give in to the end and carry on"
Carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
I carry on
There's a new breeze blowin' tonight
Clear away the past
Honey, free at last
Yes, I've paid for the choices I've made
No apologies from me
You know I'll never, no
Never lose my will
Never, never standin' still
I'll carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
I carry on
Istand alone in the eye of the storm
Pressures all around
Tryin' to wear me down
But it's all right
I won't give up the fight
I said, "Lord, lift me up!"
Let me rise above
I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop
I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
I carry on
I wont stop lord!
Yes, I'll carry
I'll carry on, yeah
Yes I'll carry
Carry on, I'm gonna carry on
Yes, I'll carry
Carry on
Don't carry on without me
I said I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong with the mighty love to
Carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
When the valley's deep
Just carry on
I'll carry on
When the mountain's too high
You gotta carry on
I'll carry on
With the mighty love
I'll never sleep
I'll carry on till the new day dawns
It's really an enigma why Ms. Walsh is not more popular. Her voice is stunning.
Had the distinct pleasure in meeting Miss Wash once in person and she is just adorable, sweet, and utmost kind.... needless to say she is one heck of a singer. A true Great and Living Legend.
I remember watching Double Platinum as a kid and hearing this song and instantly fell in love with it
Amen...Thank you Ms. Martha Wash...Legislation passed in this country to credit your God given talent...Love you...from Texas...
Whenever I have a hard time or feel down this song gives me strength
This song should have over a million plus views... what a Great song and message from a Great music artist!
The one and only. That voice is beyond…
Sahara Davenport anyone?
Definetly...
YASSS! Exactly why I'm here #Legend
Eli Slayz i made a lip sync playlist on spotify and can't find this
Simeon Joseph it's not on there. I was trying to find it too! Not all lip synch songs are on there :/
She gave me goosebumps
I had the good fortune to work with her back in the 1980's when I was a club dj, fabulous person very professional
Sahara Davenport, Morgan McMichaels the time has come for you to LIP SYNC FOR YOUR LIFE good luck and don't fuck it up

This Song lifts my Soul from the depths of Despair. Thanks Miss Martha!!!!
I had this song on a cassette single back in 93. One of the most soulful voices out there. She should be more famous than she is.
OMG!!!! Where have you been all of my life?!?!? I LOVE this talent!!!

I have loved Martha’s voice forever ❤️

Totally agree , Martha Wash is a very much underrated talent, a superior vocialist .
1000% agree with you!! But this will be fixed!!
Miss GNX I love Martha, but Aretha is the Queen....there can only be one Queen and that is Aretha, now, henceforth and forevermore....she’s that good.
Definitely. That whole album was a bunch of hits. It should have been a platinum-seller
This song and her delivery of it gives me such inspiration!

Carry On!!!!
i loveeee thisss amazing!!! very uplifting and kind;ve spiritual!!! FABULOUS!
Wow! Sweet Inspiration!!!...Thanks Martha Wash
Straight church vibes from Martha on this classic.
Her song may be titled “Carry On” but Martha is certainly not keeping calm (really, what would be the point of a Martha Wash song where she was keeping calm?). Instead she’s all “WOOOO-AAAA-OOOO-AAAA-HHHH!!!! YYYYY-EEEE-AAAA-HHHH!!!!!” which is exactly how Martha Wash should be. After all, she’d earned it!
“Carry On” is a happy conclusion to the previous couple of years of being constantly ripped off by Black Box and C+C Music Factory, after which Martha decided that she WON’T STOP!!! WOULD NOT!!! BE DENIED!!!
In other words she sued… all of them!
Verdict: she won and got a recording contract! Incredible that she didn’t have one before, of course. More than a decade into being one of the most instantly recognised voices on the dancefloor, “Carry On” was her first single.
But it’s not quite over - “(SHE) WON’T STOP!!! NO!!!
“Carry On” is a 9.
I love her voice.
Amazing singer!
I love Martha Wash, "carry on girlfriend"
Martha is an angel
Holy S--T I love this song and her entire first CD. I bought it in 1993 for the love of god.
I love and adore this stranger.
Such a big voice and funky music!!
