Anyone here remember Martika? Any fans out there?

I remember Toy Soldiers.

"Toy Soldiers!!!" Heck yeah, I like her too!!

I LOVE Toy Soldiers!! I found a cassette with that song about 14 years ago and bought it. Some of the songs were okay, but I didn't listen to it much at all. I must have donated it or something. Thank goodness for Youtube!!! I just checked Youtube and she has a greatest hits CD out! I didn't know that she had done more than one album. Did she only have one hit?

I really liked Toy Soldiers. The funny thing was I had bought this old comic around that time, with its cover-featured toy soldier story:

I've got her second album Martika's Kitchen. I mainly bought it because Prince wrote four of the songs on there. The album isn't that good, but there is an awesome song on there called Love...Thy Will Be Done. Prince should have saved it for himself though.

It's really really good. She did a great job with it and the video was pretty nice too:

Four years ago I saw her open for Pat Benatar with a band that she's now in (or was in, I have no clue if it still exists). It was quite awkward because I was in the first row and almost no one was at the concert yet.

Martika had four singles reach the Billboard Top 40:
More Than You Know
Toy Soldiers
I Feel The Earth Move(Yes, a cover of the Carole King song)
Love... Thy Will Be Done

That's cool! I'll have to check out more of her songs! Thanks for the info!

Love Martika!

i liked a lot of her pop hits, plus i always thought her records sounded very similar to the stuff madonna released in that 80s decade.

Martika I love her and her song Toy Soldiers. I have Toy Soldiers on my MP3 player and I listen to it all the time.
