Martha High (USA)- Soul/Funk
The Goddess of Soul, 30 years with Mr. James Brown
Martha High - “Funky Diva’s revisited”
Martha High is an internationally acclaimed soul icon, vocalist, author, and educator. Discovered at just 18 by James Brown at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, she became his longest-serving female vocalist and was crowned The Goddess of Soul, performing with him for over three decades.
As part of the original funk era, Martha stood shoulder to shoulder with the powerful women who shaped soul and funk—artists like Lyn Collins, Vicki Anderson, and other fearless funk divas of the ’60s and ’70s. In Funky Divas Revisited, she honors that legacy while bringing the music forward with her unmistakable voice, stories, and lived experience.
She has shared stages with Michael Jackson, B.B. King, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, and Bo Diddley, appeared in The Blues Brothers, and performed at venues and festivals worldwide—from the Olympia Paris and Madison Square Garden to Montreux Jazz Festival. Nearly six decades in, Martha High is not revisiting history—she is the history, still delivering funk, soul, and fire to audiences around the world.
