Adelaida Martinez. Following the massive success of UTFO's "Roxanne, Roxanne" single in late 1984 and early 1985, over 100 "answer" records appeared, with several female emcees adopting the titular "Roxanne" alias. The Real Roxanne (born Adelaida Martinez) was among the most talented of the lot and had to contend with Roxanne Shanté for the title. Martinez was recruited by Full Force to replace the original Roxanne, Elease Jack who recorded the answer record 'The Real Roxanne' by Roxanne and UTFO. Martinez's debut was 'Romeo / Roxanne's Groove' in 1985 on Select Records. E Jack recorded a further solo 12" under the alias, Elease "The Original Roxanne" called 'Boys' in 1985.
