“Martika’s Kitchen”
Martika
My favorite Kids, Inc. diva (sorry, Stacey), Martika hit it big with her debut album. It yielded three top 40 hits, including the #1 classic “Toy Soldiers.” She enlisted Prince‘s help to produce her second album, and the first single “Love … Thy Will Be Done” sailed up to #10. But the album flopped, peaking at #111, and the second single and title track, “Martika’s Kitchen” debuted on the Hot 100 at #93 … where it peaked, spending just two weeks on the chart. And that was it for Martika, who would never hit the chart again. She continues to make music independently, but I was shocked her pop career had such a short shelf life.
