Born in Berkeley, California Martha Davis is a founding member of new wave outfit The Motels. Their 1979 debut album yielded the hit Total Control and established Martha’s iconic image with cigarette in one hand and microphone in the other as she plaintively intoned her way through the low key but intense song. It was a big hit in Australia where Martha maintains a faithful fanbase. Happy birthday. | Marking Time
