Izora Armstead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Izora Rhodes Armstead (1942 - September 16, 2004, San Leandro, California, USA) was one half of the 1980s pop group the Weather Girls.
Born Izora Rhodes, she linked up with Sylvester and Patrick Cowley in San Francisco in the late 70s as a backup singer, along with Martha Wash. At that time they were called Two Tons O' Fun or simply Two Tons.
Later, in 1979, she and Martha formed the Weather Girls. Their hit It's Raining Men was to prove one of the most successful song of the Hi-NRG music genre, hitting number 1 on the club charts.
After she and Martha Wash parted company in the late 80's, Izora moved to Germany and formed the German version of the Weather Girls with her daughter, Dynell.
She died of heart failure at the age of 62.
