    Martha Wash...is what the old folks used to call "a throwback". Which is to say, they dont even make 'divas' like her, anymore. She comes from an era when you REALLY had to know how to sing, in order to piece together some longevity. Sylvester would have never looked her way at the audition, where he bumped into her, out of nowhere, if she didnt know how to sing..and the mere fact that he then asked her if she knew of another heavy, black woman that could sing as well as her, meant that he knew in his gut, that Martha and Izora were going to be 'game changers'.
