Our producer Shayna Wakefield sits down with Dynelle Rhodes, one-half of the iconic duo The Weathers Girls and the daughter of the late Izora Armstead. In this episode, Dynelle shares intimate details about her mother's journey and the origin of The Weathers Girls.
Izora Armstead, known for her unforgettable alto voice, rose to fame as one-half of Two Tons O' Fun, lending her powerful vocals as a backup singer for disco sensation Sylvester. However, it was their own record deal that brought them into the spotlight, leading to the release of three consecutive chart-topping dance hits. In 1982, the duo underwent a transformation, becoming The Weather Girls, and their sensational single "It's Raining Men" catapulted them into mainstream pop success.
Dynelle Rhodes takes us on a captivating exploration of her mother's extraordinary musical career, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped The Weathers Girls' legacy. With personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes revelations, she delves into the powerful bond she shared with her mother and the influence Izora had on shaping her own musical path.
Join us as we celebrate the enduring power of their sound and honor the remarkable contributions of Izora Armstead and The Weathers Girls to the music industry.
