I like her. I'm surprised I never heard this. Maybe I did and forgot. When I was very young I was given an album sold on TV called Starburst. The song I posted was on there, and was one of my favorites. I don't think the disco version was the original though. When searching for it I found an older blues style version.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
Martha Wash has several #1 songs, many of them uncredited where she didn't get her proper royalties. She won lawsuits against several that slighted her. And good for her I say. This particular song, she did get her proper credit for.
