    Martha Wash, Crystal Waters, Cece Peniston, Robin S., and Thea really made the 90s such a great decade for dance/house music. Glad to see them all still going strong.

    I owned a record store from 1999-2012 which were the best years of my life. I worked with each one of these legends at some point during those years. One of my best memories was doing an in-store signing with Martha Wash. She is a queen and I felt she should be treated like one. So I rented a huge over the top crushed velvet queen's throne from a Hollywood prop house for her to sit at while she did her autographing. When she came in and saw her throne, she was mortified. She said "I can't sit there... " she was so humbled and modest. We eventually talked her into it and what do you know, everyone loved it and felt she deserved it... just like I did! Good times.

They’re all still actively touring and performing and they so deserve recognition for coming up in an even tougher era for women in music.

    Don’t forget Melanie Thornton of La Bouche. Melanie died in a place crash near Zurich a few months after Aaliyah in 2001. I am now 50, and I grew up in Virginia Beach when all this music came out in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It captured me. I believe Lose Ends was a bridge from R&B to Techno Dance music. To this day, Rhythm is a Dancer gives me chills. To this day, many black Americans and other black people around the globe who know our music and artists never mention these important Black women to the world of music. To me, music is music. There is no race in music. I listen to heavy metal, hard rock, R&B, a little bit of country, Rap, Reggae, Afro Beats, and so on. I love music. It happened for me when I was in my mothers womb in 72. My mother said my father would put headphones on her belly and would play Jimmy Hendrix. I had no idea as a kid why I loved Jimmy’s music so much until my mother told me this story about 15 years ago. I love music. For a little bit of history, I actually grew up in VA Beach with Timerland and Pharelle Williams. We all used to hang out at Future Record in VA Beach. Future Records belong to Teddy Riley. I saw many stars before they started to come through future records.

    Martha Wash, for me a legend of dance music. She has an incredible power in her voice. She has a long career, performed in the 70th as a background singer with the legendary Sylvester, after that she was one member of the weather girls, then singer by C+C Music Factory and Black Box.

    I had the opportunity (and the pleasure) of meeting Robin S and spending most of the day with her when "Show Me Love" was just hitting, and she was booked to play a set at the nightclub where I had a residency (Pleasuredome, in Niagara Falls, NY). I've worked with numerous artists over the years, and I can tell you that I've never met a more gracious and kind woman in my life, and as for that voice, all I can say is WOW!!!! She has an extremely rare gift, and her voice sounded even better live than it does on the record, where it sounds spectacular! Oh, one more thing, kids. There was no autotune back in the day. Just #PureTalent!!!
