Martha Wash: Carry On (Live at the Cutting Room, NYC)

The legendary Martha Wash sings "Carry On" live in concert at the Cutting Room - New York City. It was during a heat wave on the American 4th of July Holiday Weekend. The temperatures were in the high 90's and the Air Conditioning units blew out half way into the show. But undeterred Martha came out, grabbed a fan from and audience member and went to work on an extended live version of "Carry On" that brought the club to Church and ripped the roof off that joint. CARRY ON!

Whitney, Donna, and Martha... My own holy trinity. 👐🏿

[@ericbowen3813]

Yes, but not in that order

[@brandothecatmeow]

Not many people have a voice like that. Pure power.

[@dbfeldi]

This is how gospel music became the disco of the day...what a talented singer and she followed with some exceptional hits...Thank you Martha Washington for gracing my turntables and making me smile today with all your music

[@veganvocalist4782]

Whoooahhhhh that breath control , she can do ANYTHING with that instrument 👏🏼 💛💛💛

[@Modelcitizenmusic]

I got the to see this amazing lady SANG in Seattle Gay Pride. The tape that was supposed to play her music and backing vocals messed up I think in the middle of her second song. This woman showed us why she is EVERYTHING and more by singing to us clapping can singing backup (and you KNOW there was more than a few tone deaf ppl singing loudly). Ms. Wash was never off key, showed all kinds of love and was apologetic to the audience, but most importantly, she wore us out with her flawless a capella show. No dancers or music needed. Let's just say EVERYONE was happy.

[@ReneChewbaka]

This is an amazing version of a giant hit...

[@TheDizzydee7]

WITHOUT DOUBT !!! The greatest female voice that god has EVER blessed our planet with !!! God Bless you Martha !!! you are beyond compare !!! xxx

[@simonsteam]

This is the whole of the 90s in 1 voice! Incredible.

[@tekobari]

+Si Smith Hmmmm .... you mean there are singers who have power, emotion, perfect pitch, dynamics and intonation mastery on every level? Are you sure she's doing this live, not lip syncing? Are you sure this is an actual real singer's voice, not Auto-Tuned out the ass? Are any of you as astonished as I am that other so-called singers have heard someone like Martha Wash and still show their faces in public? Couldn't help the shade on most pop stars, but when I hear one of the true queens of music, it pisses me off that singing has sunk to the level it has now.

[@delmarreese9668]

I've heard her live, up close, and in front. The voice is raw and real. She really doesn't need the mic.

[@JLPerryTV]

tekobari Go read her bio and you will understand that comment. She sang on every big hit from the 80s to the 90s

[@TASconfidential]

JLPerryTV AMEN!!!

[@murraykins1952]

ISN'T SHE FANTASTIC

[@chadaevans9807]

[@rubenespinal3158]

Martha, Martha...girl I have been listening to you since the days of Sylvester.

[@joeyherne]

Truly one of the most underrated people in the universe.

[@ted1091]

I hear her Gospel roots throughout this song.

[@zayvier69]

I love how she does her own sound effects vocally

[@ReneChewbaka]

They call that Scat Singing. Or Scatting

[@WayneAnderson]

From one "Martha Wash obsessed fan" to another - you are very welcome, Amrick! Glad you are enjoying the videos (I loved filming them!!)

[@marbeen0]

1997....I was 18 going to my first PRIDE in Phoenix, AZ....I was so nervous and fearful. Then my friend put in a cd and CARRY ON-FULL INTENTION CLUB MIX came on...and I was full of Pride. LOVE MARTHA WASH!!!!

[@katesmith1534]

I'm totally in awe! That's what you call a VOICE!!! I have always loved this song .... I didn't know it was the wonderful Martha Wash!!! Wow ... after all this time .... I finally know 2 things - the above - and the name of this awesome song xxx

[@davejerrido2388]

She has the most powerful voice I have ever heard. Much love to Martha Wash!

[@alejandroc7420]

From Martha to Donna Summer, these ladies can sing for days but because they don't/didn't fit the norm, they have/had to work harder...sad.

[@twin3510]

Martha has the voice .the greatest. She also makes really inspirational and uplifting music.

[@lanettaalexander752]

This song is timeless. Regardless of each new year, we need to/must carry on!!!😻💫💫💥💥💥

[@originaldeftom]

She is my vocal godmother. If Donna Summer was the Empress of Disco, then Martha is the Empress of House!!

[@kc454]

Martha is a Beautiful, Strong, and Multi-Talented Woman!

[@NYEBABUI81]

The emotion while she's singing. She's perfect

[@O9SSAM]

I remember my friend Douglas who was Martha's manager and one day I had the pleasure of having 4th of July dinner with both of them at their home in Long Island which is just 5mins from my house. She was and still is such a Diva Love you Miss Martha and RIP good friend Douglas. Ossam

[@charityglenn6597]

She has a very soulful voice

[@bryantkelly2342]

Go Girl 💪.

[@joemusic13]

She is most soulful artist that just deliver every note on top of the game in House Music & just a outstanding artist at all levels. Very few artist can step up next to her. She has that excellence about herself there are younger artist like Kelly Price & Nicole Mitchell that should go down her tail of music history . Now that would be a great team up in a major project for the best new house music that would break a limit beyond words --Martha Wash & Kelly Price or Nicole Mitchell on one 14 song project of great new house music with this Lady of House music to make it history for the ages.of music history. Now that would be a force to deal with and make things shine even better for 2020-------Dunmore Music of Monee IL.
