Sobre Martha High
James Brown's longest-running female vocalist, Martha High (aka Martha Harvin) was also a member of the R&B vocal group the Jewels. She began her career in Washington, D.C., where she attended the same high school and sang in the same church as the other Jewels. The group woodshedded along with the Rainbows, the Marquees, and Billy Stewart in Bo Diddley's basement, and Diddley orchestrated their first recording deal with Chess/Checker Records. In 1964, they landed a gig with the James Brown Revue. After a year-and-a-half, and two 45s produced by Brown, the Jewels disbanded; Martha Harvin changed her name to Martha High and continued with Brown for more than 30 years. She sang with Brown on "Summertime" and appears on the James Brown Original Funky Divas LP. High recorded a self-titled solo album for Salsoul Records in 1979.
