In 2002, while working on the album, Izora Armstead and Dynelle released the song YOUR LOVE as a vinyl 12" single, featuring Wackside. Izora & Dynelle appeard on the german tv show COMEBACK UNITED and Dynelle sang a duet with Limahl (ex-lead singer of Kaja Goo-Goo)- "DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART" (available on the rare, hard to find 2-cd set THE BEST OF COMEBACK UNITED). Soon after, Izora experienced health problems and was unable to continue recording and touring. She passed away on Sept. 16th, 2004 in California. During Izora's illness Dynelle paired up with her step-sister Ingrid and they finished work on the album as the new (and third incarnation of) The Weather Girls. In late 2004 the completed cd was released and it spun off 2 more cd singles- 1. WILD THANG (Dynelle and Ingrid) and 2. IT'S RAINING MEN- Live 2004 (Dynelle and Ingrid). I am not sure what single(s) will be released, if any, from this 2007 cd version. If you like fun dance/party music, which is what the Weather Girls have always recorded, you'll enjoy this cd.
Ralph Falcon released his huge club hit "BREAK YOU" in May 2008 and it spent one week at #1 on the American dance chart- the song features the Weather Girls (Dynelle & Ingrid), but it is Dynelle who really delivers, especially on the original version. The song is from the upcoming (Oct. 2008 release) 2-cd set called Hollywood To Hialeah by Ralph Falcon. For more info on Izora see my other reviews of her cd's."
