Two Tons, The

Originally backing singers with Sylvester and also Paradise Express on the Fantasy label, Izora Armstead and Martha Wash soon recorded solo albums as Two Tons Of Fun. Their first album contained several disco classics, such as "Earth can be just like heaven", "One sided love affair" and "Got the feeling". The much-overlooked superclassic on this album, though, is "Do you wanna boogie, hunh?".
The Two Tons recorded one follow-up less successful album, "Backatacha", before leaving the Fantasy label. Izora was then married and became Izora Redman, and the group then teamed up with Paul Jabara and Bob Esty to create Weather Girls, The.
