A huge gay anthem and a wonderful, wonderful uplifting track.I remember hearing this in Paradise Factory, in Manchester and it absolutely took the roof off.
It was a truly fantastic clubbing memory.
Truly fantastic vocals by the wonderfully talented Martha Wash - gosh can that lady sing or what!!
Can you believe this track is 27 years old - amazing!! It still sounds great!!
These were the sort of tracks which dropped at the right moment, simply made your night.
Pure balearic bliss!!!

Keep the faith!!

A classic - remember hearing the Geri Halliwell version on the radio and just being appalled at how weedy it sounded. Am i right in thinking the other Weather Girl was Jocelyn Brown?
ReplyDeleteNo, it was the late Izora Rhodes
ReplyDeleteBut Wash and Brown did sing together on Todd Terry's Keep on Jumping and Something Going On
This was remade in 1997, Martha Wash as an original weather girl but Ru Paul replacing Izora Rhodes. Pretty dull remake but the Dillon & Dickens remix stands out. http://www.discogs.com/Martha-Wash-Its-Raining-Men-The-Sequel/master/77986
ReplyDeleteRemember Sasha playing this a few times near the end of his sets. Also used to get played a lot in Vague.
