They are best known for their 1982 #1 club and pop hit, "It's Raining Men," the recording of which music producer Paul Jabara supervised. Though the mainstream pop market considers the team a one-hit wonder, they were previously known as Two Tons O' Fun, under which name they recorded three songs which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart: "Earth Can Be Just Like Heaven" (1980); "Just Us" (1980 and also made #29 on the US R&B chart); and the Hi-NRG song "I Got the Feeling" in 1981. They also backed Sylvester and Bob Seger (1986). After the success of "It's Raining Men," other hits with the original line-up included "Dear Santa (Bring Me a Man this Christmas)," for which, as with "It's Raining Men," an accompanying music video was made, and "No One Can Love You More Than Me."
The core audience of the team's original lineup consisted largely of homosexual men.
In the 90's Izora Armstead moved to Germany, where she and her daughter Dynelle Rhodes re-formed the group for touring in Europe, and in 2002 they joined the "Disco Brothers" for a participation in the German National Final for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Get Up". In the end, the group only managed a 13th place out of 15. The current members of the group are sisters Dynelle Rhodes and Ingrid Arthur, who are the daughters of Armstead, who died in 2004. They released a new Weather Girls album, Totally Wild, in late 2005. It scored an underground club hit with "Wild Thang." Like the original Weather Girls, the duo has proven very successful with its gay male core audience.
In 2008, the Weather Girls were listed as featured artists on the song, "Break You" by Ralph Falcon of the bands Murk and Funky Green Dogs. This song spent one week at #1 on the American dance chart in May of 2008.

SUCH A SHAME THAT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY COULDN'T LOOK PAST THEIR WEIGHT.BOTH OF THESE LADIES COULD REALLY BLOW.
WinGate Mose
So very true. It's a damnable shame but we bought their records. The Gays always supported these two magnificent artist.
Jerry Cox
agreed

There are a lot of artists that fell by the wayside because they didn't have the "look" the music industry wanted. It's unfortunate, but the prettier the package, the more they promote the artist. These non talented, nobody singers get a lot more money and exposure than heavier more talented artists. Exception - Luther Vandross and Adele, just to name a couple of them.

Especially when they got lizzo now.

I remember this song being played, BLASTED on boom-boxes, outside as I walked through teenage neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. Ppl freaking honored her in silence as she sang this. It's her powerhouse voice....
