CHICAGO (WLS) — “It’s Raining Queens” at City Winery Chicago this weekend.<\/p>\n

Marsha Warfield and Martha Wash combine talents and sassy attitude in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The performers tell Hosea Sanders they want us to join them for a night of humor and<\/p>\n

“She’s nice and I’m naughty, I will start he show being naughty and provocative and a little blasphemous, and then after I have upset a lot of people, then Martha comes out and sings them happy,” Warfield said.<\/p>\n

“Disco was fun music, happy music, it made people want to dance, everybody felt like they were in love with each other through the music,” Wash said.<\/p>\n

The music industry used Wash’s voice but it was being lip synched and she wasn’t seen in videos.<\/p>\n

“That practice caused an uproar, I did an award-winning series on it as a reporter in L.A,” she said.<\/p>\n

ABC 7’s Hosea Sanders said she helped him win his first Emmy.<\/p>\n

“You had three songs, hit songs, number one, but your face was not on any of those things. It was a controversy and they just did you wrong,” Sanders said.<\/p>\n

“Baby, honey this is well over thirty years, I have long moved on and done other things,” Wash said.<\/p>\n

For Warfield, Chicago is her hometown. She is from the city’s South Side.<\/p>\n

“I love Chicago, I can’t wait to get back,” she said. “If I had enough time I would go to the DuSable Museum every time I come to town and I would take the Dilla’s Mahogany Tour of Bronzeville, the cool of the South Side,” Warfield said.<\/p>\n

Marsha Warfield and Martha Wash are at City Winery Chicago in the West Loop on Saturday, Oct. 3.<\/a><\/p>\n
