When 'It's Raining Men' was released in 1982, the song was an instant hit in queer circles because it had all the trappings of a Pride anthem: powerhouse vocals, campy music video, disco, and deftly sexy lyrics extolling the joys of getting 'absolutely soaking wet' in lust.

Throughout the late '70s, Wash and Armstead could be spotted in the flesh singing back up during live performances of Sylvester's hits 'You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)' (1978) and 'Dance (Disco Heat)' (1978).

When Sylvester heard her voice, he immediately dismissed the other girls. 'He said, 'Do you know of anybody else that's as large as you are and can sing?' I said, 'Yes.' That other person was Armstead.'
