AboutThe Weather Girls
Profile:
As back-up singers for disco queen Sylvester, Izora Armstead and Martha Wash recorded under the name Two Tons O' Fun. They soon embarked on their own career as recording artists, and after recording what would be their biggest hit, "It's Raining Men", the girls rechristened themselves The Weather Girls. They remained active until 1988, when they went their separate ways.
In 1991, Armstead reformed the Weather Girls name, inviting her daughter Dynelle Rhodes to replace Martha. They recorded a few albums and singles together and toured throughout the 1990's. In 2004, Izora grew ill and ultimately passed away in September 2004. In 2005, Dynelle added Ingrid Arthur to the lineup and they released two albums called Totally Wild (2005) and The Woman I Am (2009). In mid-2012, Arthur left the duo and was replaced by Dorrey Lin Lyles.

Timeless within the trend: The sisters Dynelle Rhodes and Ingrid Arthur, better known as WEATHER GIRLS, are a constant hit, considering Dance, Pop and Soul rhythms. For more than 20 years and with varying line-ups over the years, the spirited ladies perform on stage and entertain their fans with their powerful voices, good spirit and good vibes.
Who doesn't know "It's Raining Men" or "Can U Feel It", the titles, that have reached top chart positions worldwide in the past two centuries and which became probably the most popular party hymns ever. For many years good parties cannot be imagined without these songs. The WEATHER GIRLS inspire people who are young or young at heart as well as "trendy" and "normal" people. These ladies are simply a "Cult"!
Quickly some short facts about the history of the WEATHER GIRLS: Founded as "Two Tons Of Fun", what they called themselves in the 70s, the duo consisted of Izora Armstead and Martha Wash. When recording "It's Raining Men" and renaming the duo in "Weather Girls", a worldwide career began in the early 80s.
As Martha Wash decided to start a solo career in the late 80s and the WEATHER GIRLS were only known as a duo, Izora Armstead came up with the idea to found a family business: "My mom called and asked me, if I would like to sing together with her", Dynelle Rhodes remembers. "At first I thought, she wanted to put me on, but she said breezily: 'I'm in the studio working on a new record and you have to decide immediately.' I quit my job and moved to New York together with my son Anthony."
The debut family album "Double Tons Of Fun" became a big success, as well as the hit single "Can U Feel It" and the WEATHER GIRLS, now mother and daughter, continued their successful story.
At the time Izora has decided to say "Good Bye" to the stressful tour life and wanted to retire bit and bit, she did another call. This time it was her other daughter Ingrid Arthur who was on the other end of the line. It was easy to convince Ingrid. With commitment she followed in her mom's footsteps.
Now a new studio album of the WEATHER GIRLS will be released and after "Puttin' On The Hits" the motto is: "Nomen est Omen": TOTALLY WILD! Headed by the single "Wild Thang", an extremely danceable uptempo disco tune of the finest Hi-NRG sound style was made. It was recorded in the "Coconut Studios" in Hennef (Germany) for the in-house label and is a choicest collage out of danceable disco hits and soulful vocal trax, in which Dynelle (better known as "Dee") and Ingrid are showing, what great voices they have.
Besides many new compositions, TOTALLY WILD also contains a fabulous collection of the best disco hit cover songs. With the re-recording of the hit "Can U Feel It" as well as with their interpretations of, for example, "Born To Be Alive", "Don't Leave Me This Way" or "Muscles", the WEATHER GIRLS prove, that they still are an inherent part of the scene: powerful, dynamic and wild: TOTALLY WILD!
