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 don't think it's hard for women to break through - I think it's hard for the larger ladies to break through - and it makes me angry - talent is talent - too many women singers not wearing enough clothes - skimpy outfits = anorexia in the teenage fans - don't get me started on the clothes horse industry -
No autotuned, no mixer to enhance an already voice of perfection, this is the legacy
I remember seeing Martha Wash perform at a club event. They were having audio issues. She was so professional and just started belting it out with no mic. Her voice was so powerful that no one even notice. Then the mic was fixed and everyone was like "wow, what a voice!"

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.

Excellent representation of such a great era in music. There were truly so many, if we could gather them all, we’d fill a stadium. How about the 80s ladies of the freestyle era? Exposé, Taylor Dayne, Cover Girls, Lisa Lisa, Sweet Sensation, Nayobe. 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.

This segment should've included Paris Grey, lead singer for Inner City. 5 #1 Billboard dance music hits and the house record "Good Life" is STILL played in dance clubs all over because it's MAGIC. If you really want to check out a mind-blowing house record you have to hear the epic cut "Can You Party?" (often mistaken for being titled "Can You Feel It?") by Royal House.

Legends. They should go on tour sometime. 90s house music was the best!
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.

And when I tell people my favorite genre of music they look ate weird orake fun of me saying I should only listen to Rock, metal or country and I tell them I do plus I also live Hip Hop, R&B, dance and pop. No one should ever be regulated to a Specific kind of music just because of your race or color.
This brought tears to my eyes. Those songs are the soundtrack to my high school years. I remember one of the KC radio stations would play nothing but house music on Friday nights, so we would listen as we cruised. Didn't matter whose car we were in, we listened to that station.

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!!!!

Been on tour with two of these sisters and they had big hearts and big talents and have influenced my daughters musically.❤❤❤
These phenomenal women sang the soundtrack to our lives..thanks for this story GMA
They are the pillars of the mainstream music that we hear now in today's music. Just quality because then back in the days it was more about the music, and entertaining people together at parties instead of interacting on their phone. Glad to be born in the 80s and raised and danced in the 90s
I absolutely adore Martha Wash.. and too see her there with Robin S, Crystal Waters, Thea Austin made my heart flutter. I love dance music and listen to it everyday including these Queens who put the glitter and sparkles in my life with their music.

These women's voices were the power ballets of the 90's. This is amazing seeing them all sitting down together like this. Just to know some were not allowed to be on the video or live singing their own songs- we should never allow this to happen again. People want to see the real singer sing their own hit, period.
These ladies need to be celebrated in every day music not just house !I have so many memories from 10 to being in the clubs that this music is apart of and when I hear these songs I’m transported in such a nostalgic way too the first time I heard these songs ,and what you felt the first time you heard each of these songs and the ladies singing it!
I grew up in Japan from 89-95 (through high school) and danced my ass off to their music in the clubs as well as by myself with my Walkman/Discman/ MDplayer.
MARTHA WASH!!!!!! YEEEESSSSS!! ONE OF THEEEE MOST ICONIC VOICES OF THE 90s! She deserves this recognition after what CC group did to her! >:(

GIVE THESE QUEENS THEIR FLOWERS! Maaan, nothing but the classics! This is history...much respect! Their music was/is a major part of my life and I never resided in a region in which house music was at the forefront.
These ladies are iconic
I’m glad I lived in the 90s with memories of when these songs came out. There’s nothing like the reaction of the crowd when these jams came on and made everybody dance together.
I grew up in the 90’s and I have all those beautiful ladies on my playlist.
They should all tour together in 2024! Love them all!!!❤️
I would LOVE to hear new music from these ladies. It would go to the top of the charts in EDM music.

yeah... if they can get DJ David Guetta to stop putting out records that sample other peoples' hits! Dance music lost its soul in around 2016, it's very generic and soulless nowadays. The last shining light of dance music was Aviccii and he checked out.
Growing up in a little town in distant New Zealand these women and their songs were heard valued and adored ❤
Me and my mom use to jam to all of those songs. I might have veen young. But i never forgot the music.
I was a little girl and I used to listen to the radio on Friday and Saturday nights when they would do “Club Mixes” on the radio. And I would just sing my little heart out to Show Me Love, Finally (😍!!!!). I fell in love with House then and I still love it today. Undiluted pure House music PERIOD. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
This was well over due! These women made house what it is today. I hope that someone, somewhere does an hour long interview with them.
Disco had a baby and named her House Music. Born in 1977 from “The Queen of Disco”, Donna Summer, I Feel Love…put her down for nap (8os) and woke her up around 1990…these ladies nurtured her sound…and WOW !!😀🪩❤️
Martha Wash was a beast back in the day. Much respect to all these lady's. Glad to see them still kicking it.
They are still Factors in today's music!!! Respect to the Queens of House music. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I remember hearing "Finally" when I was in junior high back in '92. It's still a great song. My kids (7 and 3) like it too
I've been telling people for years about how all these women are the titans and pioneers of house music. Give them their due.
The KILLER nights at the clubs, these ladies supplied the soundtrack for so many good times in the 90’s. Legends!
I danced to their music like there was no tomorrow! Still do sometimes to work out😅❤🎉
Great idea 💡 to bring these artists together! House is UNSUNG. Now this is JOURNALISM!! Thanks GMA! 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Omg the sounds of my tweenhood. Bless these women for blessing us with their voices
What a beautiful, brilliant group of women. I still love their music!
It makes me happy to see these ladies get their flowers. Thank you GMA
I play their songs to this day💜so glad crystal waters is there (she was missing from ‘the view’), but they need Sybil. she’s also a house legend.
