About this artist
Two Tons o' Fun
Originally backing singers with Sylvester and also Paradise Express on the Fantasy label, Izora Rhodes and Martha Wash soon recorded solo albums as the Two Tons o' Fun. Their first album contains several veritable disco classics - "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 the Weather Girls.
