Biografia
The band were originally made up of producers Robert Clivillés and David Cole, who came together in the house acts 2 Puerto Ricans, a Blackman, and a Dominican and The 28th Street Crew. The duo had chemistry, and in 1990, they got together to make the single “Get Dumb! (Free Your Body)” with frequent collaborator Freedom Williams, a rapper from their shared home town of New York City. The single resulted in a lawsuit for the producers, but they had such a good time making it that they decided to continue working together, enlisting the vocalists Selma Davis and Martha Walsh, along with Williams, to form what they would call the C+C Music Factory. By mid-1990, the band had finished their first album “Gonna Make You Sweat”, but no-one could have predicted just how successful the band would become.
“Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” was released in October of that year, and was an absolutely mind-boggling hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1991, when it had already become one of the most recognisable pop songs of its time. The single would eventually go on to be certified Platinum five times over, and achieved similar success in Canada and the United Kingdom. Understandably, this was as good as it was ever going to get for the band, as their second and third albums sank without a trace after their releases in 1994 and 1995 respectively. Tragically, Cole died in January 1995 and after the last singles for the band's self-titled final album were released in 1996, the band quietly split up. However, in 2010 Clivillés tapped Eric Kupper to form a new incarnation of C+C, and have been starting parties all around the globe ever since. For being the most fun you can have with your clothes on, C+C Music Factory come highly recommended.

C+C music factory was an American Dance and HipHip group, which was pretty popular in 1989 and the early 90's. They released three studio albums, which were titled, Gonna make you sweat, anything goes, C+C music factory. They were a highly successful group, and their songs really made you get into their performances. In "Everybody Dance Now" their clothes are pretty cool looking, and they look cool. They get really into the songs, their voices sound very upbeat, and they are dancing all over the stage. The song really does make everybody wanna dance now. The raps added into the songs also really help to pump up the audience. There are parts in the song that prompt you to dance, such as "you better move it now", which really helps to get you into the music. It is just a very feel good music. The men in the performance typically have their shirts off to attract the women, and the beats just keep people wanting to move to the music. The songs are great, and it is not surprising that this group was so popular during their day! I think that these songs would even be popular today because they are so good.
Robert Clivillés and Eric Kupper come together to form the alt-dance/pop/hip hop outfit C+C Music Factory and although the name may not be instantly recognisable, I'm assured you will know their prolific 90s defining hit 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)'. The group ceased to exist following their major success in the 90s following the death of founding member David Cole yet in 2010 they came back to the circuit and surprisingly a strong fanbase seems to have stood the test of time.
They were never a hugely followed band yet the fun nature of their music and universal appeal of the hits means that both the devoted and the fair weather pack the venue to see the duo perform live. They have definitely thought about their show and are joined by dancers and performers during 'Here We Go (Let's Rock & Roll)' and launch themselves around the stage in order to enthuse the entire room. There really is no need to get the crowd going for their double hit finale of 'Things That Make You Go Hmmm...' and the huge 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)' as the fans do exactly that.
Everybody Dance Now!
Those infamous words, that have sparked a generation of hip hop enthusiasts. Not a soul that heard those words during the nineties could help but let the rhythm move them and dance, sweaty as the song suggests. Even now the song is a classic, and those words will probably pass into immortality. C+C Music Factory are far from a one hit wonder, do not get me wrong. They produced many a wonder over their crazy ride of a career and their hits continue to be immensely popular today. Whether because, in the case of ‘Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now), they are just so dance-tastic and catchy that you couldn’t ever get sick of hearing them, or because, as is the case with ‘Things That Make You Go Hmmmm..’, they are just so brilliantly 90s and thus hold a whole host of nostalgia for your wistful wandering minds, you have to admit that C+C Music Factory are and will always (probably) be pretty frickin fantastic. Go see them. Trust me.
