Just a few sentences to the history of THE WEATHER GIRLS:

Founded as „Two Tons of Fun“, as what they called themselfes in the seventies, the duo formerly just contained of Izora Armstead and Martha Wash. With recording the song “It`s Raining Men” and the change of the name to WEATHER GIRLS an international career started in the early eighties.

When Martha Wash decided to start her solo-career at the end on the eighties Izora Armstead had the idea of founding a family-enterprise, for everyone knew the WEATHER GIRLS as a duo before. “My mother called me one day and asked, if we shouldn`t be singing together”, remembers Dynelle Rhodes, daughter of Izora Armstead. “At first I thought, she was kidding me, but she just said “You gotta hurry honey. I`m in the studio recording a new album. You gotta decide now!”

So I chanceled my job and moved to New York with my son Anthony!“

The Debut-Family-Album “Double Tons of Fun” became a big success, just like the contained hit-single “Can U Feel It” and the WEATHER GIRLS, now mother and daughter continued their story of success.

When Izora decided, to retreat from the stressy life of touring all over the world step by step, she made a phonecall again… This time the other daughter Ingrid Arthur was on the other end of the line and she as well had not to be begged for for a long time. She was passionate of walking in the mother`s shoes. Unfortunatly Izora died much too early just a short time after this.
