Martha High, a long-time collaborator of James Brown, pays tribute to the legendary "JB's Funky Divas" with her new album, "Tribute to My Soul Sisters", alongside the Japanese funk band Osaka Monaurail.

Martha spent over 30 years with James Brown as his vocalist, stylist, and confidant. Inspired by conversations with DJ Pari in 2014, Martha felt it was time to honor the female singers who supported Brown on stage, such as Lyn Collins and Vicki Anderson.The album features 13 soulful tracks, including "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins, "Mama's Got a Bag of Her Own" by Anna King, and Martha's own original "This Is My Story" with The Jewels.

Osaka Monaurail, a leading force in the international funk scene, brings their expertise to the project, offering a fresh take on classic soul.Martha began her career with The Jewels and joined James Brown's Revue in 1966, staying with him for over three decades.

She has shared the stage with legends like Aretha Franklin, Prince, and Stevie Wonder, and continues to carry the torch of soul music.

This album reaffirms her status as an iconic figure in soul, keeping the legacy of the Funky Divas alive
