 The Weather Girls Jan 15, 2007
The CD is fabulous . . I purchased one for myself, one for my Mother, and one for my sister. It was difficult to find in a store, but when I did an online search, Amazon appeared and it was in stock.
 Raining Men Review Nov 05, 2006
The CD is okay. I bought it for the song "It's raining men". Great fun song.
BIG Fun With The Big Girls! Nov 04, 2006
This excellent collection covers the 80's material of the Weather Girls. Prior to 1982 they were known as Two Tons of Fun, and they rose to fame as background singers for the late, legendary, Sylvester (see my reviews of Living Proof, and Do Ya Wanna Funk).
The girls were best known for the late Paul Jabara penned, camp/disco classic, It's Raining Men, but there is much more to be discovered. Fun takes on I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair (from the musical South Pacific), Big Girls Don't Cry, and the original song, Dear Santa (Bring me A Man For Christmas) are balanced with great club songs like Success.
Best of all this collection includes 2 tracks from their excellent self titled album from 1988, this release is Out Of Print, but here you get the club classic, Land Of The Believers, and the mid tempo song, Love You Like A Train, too bad that the ballad from this release Why Can't We Show Our Love was not included.
To quote Sylvester from his Living Proof album, "These girls can sing y'all", and that they can!

About Time! Jan 19, 2005
Hey
I have just bought this cd and love it. I just wish there were more songs. I think they should have combined Two Tons and The Weather Girls since they are the same people. They should have put a song with Sylvester on here also. YOU ARE MY FRIEND is a good one. It's sad to note that Izora just passed away. So i am glad I have her voice on CD and will cherish it forever. Carry on Martha!
All in all i love the songs especially the remake of LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN! I also love WELL A WIGGY it's a cute song with Izora growling it out ha ha. Another gem is BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY a very cool remake. And of course IT'S RAINING MEN! The classic Gay anthem ha ha.
So if you wanna here booming voices along with choice beats then pick this up.
 Good, but incomplete Dec 26, 2004
This collection is taken from the Weather Girls' '80's musical output. As albums like "Success" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" can be difficult to find, this collection is useful to get some of their recordings on CD. I was bummed the delicious "Hungry for Love" track off the "Success" album is not included here. The awesome "Dear Santa (Bring Me a Man This Christmas)" does make an appearance, though. Anyone who enjoys the classic "It's Raining Men" will find this track to be just as enjoyable. I'll never understand why it never came to be a holiday staple. Hopefully some more comprehensive collections will be issued in the future.
